The Evening Mistress at Ueno (Ueno no bansho)
Two figures are intimately entwined on a tatami floor in a room opening onto a window with a view of rooftops and a waterway filled with lotus pads. A poem cartouche sits above, and a lacquer box and tray lie at right. The color woodblock print uses flat areas of green, cream and red with fine patterned panels.
