Color woodblock print of two women in kimono beside a glowing paper lantern, one reading, with a river and hillside view through a screen.

Evening Glow of a Lamp (Andon no sekisho), from the series "Eight Views of the Parlor (Zashiki hakkei)"

A woman in a dark patterned kimono kneels on green tatami, reading a long sheet of paper beside a small lacquer box. Behind her, a standing paper lantern glows while a second woman leans over it, and a screen shows a river and a hillside under blossoming branches.

Español: Resplandor vespertino de una lámpara, de Ocho vistas del salón

Una mujer con un kimono oscuro de estampado sobre tatami verde lee una hoja larga de papel junto a una pequeña caja laqueada. Detrás, una lámpara de papel encendida brilla mientras otra mujer se inclina sobre ella; un biombo muestra un río y una ladera bajo ramas en flor.
