Dublin Core
Title
Morning Glory, no. 20 (Dai jū-ni gō asagao (第二十号 朝顔))
Description
A woman stands on the veranda (engawa; 縁側) of a building with a circular window facing a garden. Morning glory (asagao 朝顔), the flower found in the title of this work, can be seen in the bottom left. The purple and red and light blue of the flowers match the colors found in her robe. The print is likely set in midsummer as morning glories are particularly associated with the heat and humidity of that season.
