Description

An elegantly dressed woman waters a bonsai in the garden in this delicate print by Toshikata. The bamboo growing in the background, the interestingly shaped rock, and the circular window all add to the overwhelmingly traditional feeling of the print.

We also see influences from western culture in this image: the curtain behind the circular window, watering can and decorative stepping stones made of tile.
