Title
'A Collection of Five Dyed Silk Colours: Green' ('Itsutsu kinu iro no some wake - Ao')
Description
The woman elegantly dressed in a green kimono may be a reference to the compassionate character Terutehime, who faithfully dragged her wounded husband to a sacred waterfall to cure his injuries. Slung over her shoulder is the rope she used to pull along her husband's beggar's cart. A waterfall and a mountain can be seen in the background.
