Woodblock print of a seated woman and a kneeling girl beside white fluffy floss silk, with a lattice window behind them.

Evening Snow on a Floss Shaper (Nurioke no bosetsu), from the series "Eight Views of the Parlor (Zashiki hakkei)"

A seated woman with a hair pin, hands tucked in her sleeves, looks down beside a kneeling girl in a patterned kimono with a red sash. White fluffy floss silk lies on the floor, and a lattice window fills the upper left of this color woodblock print. Soft pinks, grays, and beige give the scene a quiet interior mood.
