Description

A multi-color Japanese woodblock print, executed in the Ukiyo-e style, likely dating to the Edo period. The print depicts a female figure in a kimono pointing towards a large, ornate drum with a flaming border, positioned below a fan-shaped motif featuring a bird on a flowering branch. Numerous vertical Japanese characters are present along the left margin, within a red cartouche in the upper left, and in a red cartouche in the lower right that also contains a red seal impression. The colors appear vibrant and show bleed-through to the verso, consistent with the medium.
