Woman in patterned kimono on wooden porch, holding fan, building behind her
Detailed Description
A woman is seated on a light brown wooden porch, facing slightly towards the left and looking downwards. She has long, dark hair styled back from her face. She wears a light-colored kimono adorned with floral and geometric patterns in shades of red, orange, green, and blue. Her right hand holds a dark, round fan, which rests against her chest. Her left hand is placed on her lap. To the right of the woman, a building with a thatched roof and sliding screens, some with dark frames, is visible. On the light brown floor to the left of the woman, a faint, wavy pattern, possibly representing water or mist, is depicted. Near her feet on the porch, small, indistinct dark shapes are present. Vertical text is visible on the far left side, reading '年華如夢' followed by smaller characters below. The entire image is enclosed by a wide, multi-patterned border. This border features a light-colored fabric with large, stylized floral motifs in orange, green, and white, alongside sections with dark blue and white geometric patterns. The top and bottom sections of the border have a wavy, cloud-like edge.
