Japanese color woodblock print: a standing woman in green kimono looks down at a sleeping boy in orange resting his head on a round stone beside a lattice window.

The Sleeping Tea-Boy (Parody of Hokaso)

A woman in a green patterned kimono stands at left, gazing down toward a small boy in orange who has dozed off, his head resting on a round tea-grinding stone beside a bowl. A lattice screen, a veranda rail and a bare tree in snow frame the interior scene in soft muted colors. The print is a color woodblock design.
