Description
This elegant woodblock print features a graceful woman walking against the wind, delicately pulling her kimono as cascading wisteria sways above. Originally created by Torii Kiyonaga (1752–1815) between 1772 and 1781, this piece captures the refined beauty and movement characteristic of Edo-period ukiyo-e. The soft color palette and flowing composition create a timeless, serene atmosphere. This is believed to be a later restrike, not an original 18th-century striking, but it retains the charm and artistry of Kiyonaga's celebrated work with beautiful colors.
