Original 20th century Japanese Woodblock Print
Beauty in Summer

Comments - Attractive image of a beauty kneeling on a balcony in Kyoto, enjoying a cool evening breeze along the river. She rests one hand on the verandah railing, holding a fan, gently patting her elaborately styled hair with the other. Her tan kimono features a delicate pattern of leaves, tied with a striking black obi patterned with shimmering metallic silver dragonflies. A paper lantern decorated with blossoms sways in the wind overhead, and the windows of the buildings along the opposite shore cast a soft yellow glow beneath the tall mountains. Includes embossing in the hair and soft bokashi shading in the background. A charming summer scene from a series depicting the four seasons in Kyoto.
