Two Geisha Struggling for a Letter (Fumi no arasoi)
A color woodblock print shows two women grappling on a wooden veranda, one pinning the other, who clutches a white sheet of paper. A standing woman in a patterned robe watches beside a hanging paper lantern and a pine tree beyond the railing. The palette is pale with red and green accents.
