Full-length black and white figure in patterned kimono, looking down, holding a long object
Detailed Description
A full-length, black and white figure stands centrally against a plain, light gray background. The head is tilted downwards and slightly to the left, with dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. The face is light-toned with simple, rounded features. A kimono-like garment with wide sleeves, cinched at the waist by a dark sash, covers the figure. The garment features a complex pattern of large geometric shapes, including triangles and stripes, combined with smaller textured patterns of dots and cross-hatching, all rendered in varying shades of gray. The figure's left hand holds a long, narrow, light-colored object with dark markings, possibly a folded fan or a scroll, extending downwards. The right hand is partially visible, resting at the figure's side. Bare feet are visible at the bottom of the garment. The central panel is flanked on both the left and right by vertical decorative borders, which display intricate geometric and floral patterns in darker gray tones, contrasting with the lighter central area.
