A woman in a blue kimono kneels beside a shallow bowl of plants, a quiet domestic scene that fits the tradition of Japanese prints. Images of women at leisure, tending flowers or small potted plants, were a favorite theme for printmakers, who used such scenes to show everyday refinement. Indigo was widely used in Japanese textiles, so the blue of the robe would have been a familiar and admired color to viewers. The composition is worth a closer look, since the low, bent figure and the upright bowl of greenery balance each other across the picture.
