Japanese Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print with Two Female Figures

This item is a Japanese woodblock print, likely an ukiyo-e, depicting two female figures in traditional Japanese attire. The print appears to be hand-colored or created with multiple carved blocks to apply different colors. The primary colors visible are various shades of white, red, and dark tones for the background and hair. One figure, on the left, is seen holding a red fan and is dressed in a white kimono with a dark red patterned obi. Her posture suggests a moment of contemplation or interaction. The second figure, on the right, is reaching down towards what appears to be water or low-lying foliage, also dressed in a white kimono with red accents. The background features tall, slender plants, possibly pampas grass, under a full or crescent moon, suggesting a night scene outdoors. There are visible Japanese characters and script in the upper left quadrant, indicative of title, artist signature, or publisher's mark. The print shows signs of age, including some discoloration or foxing, visible especially in the lighter areas and borders, and potentially minor creasing or handling wear. The edges appear somewhat uneven, consistent with traditional paper production and trimming. The craftsmanship showcases fine line work for details like hair, facial features, and fabric patterns, characteristic of ukiyo-e artistry. The style suggests it belongs to the Edo or Meiji period, commonly associated with the golden age of woodblock printing in Japan.
