Benten Pond, Shiba, 1929

The pond filled with flowering water lilies and two women stand on the bridge- a spectacular print! The rich greens are beautiful in contrast with the flowers and colorful kimonos. This image is considered a Hasui masterpiece. The Boston Museum of Art has this print in their 20th century collection- wonderful!
