Description
This print shows a beautiful tea-house girl using a mirror to help her adjust her hair a little. The young woman faces away from us, showing the nape of her neck, and appears relaxed. Although she isn't named, from her features and the paulownia crest on her kimono, she is thought to be the tea-house girl Naniwa O-Kita who appears in other prints by Utamaro.
The print is from Utamaro's Sugatami Shichinin Keshô ("Seven Women Applying Make-up Using a Mirror") series. Nevertheless this is the only print which is currently known in the series - the others remain, for the present, lost.
