This image focuses on a young woman as she strolls beneath a willow tree, lost in thought. She wears a black kimono over layers of red and an obi sash embroidered with phoenixes—elaborate attire that suggests she is on the way to some engagement. The abundant details in the patterns and colors of her outfit stand out against the abbreviated landscape rendered in ink.
