This print shows a young woman combing her long hair, her teeth blackened. Ohaguro (お歯黒), the practice of blackening teeth, was used as a sort of make-up in Japan from around Kofun period (300 to 538 AD) to the early Meiji period (1868-1912). It was considered to make people (both men and women) more attractive, as pitch black objects like lacquer were thought to be very beautiful. The caption in the upper left of the print reads "She has a nice personal appearance and in all respects is a good type. In general her passions run deep, but she is no fool to let them run away with her" (translation by the British Museum).

This particular print is from the Fujin Sōgaku Jittai ("Ten Physiognomies of Women") series by Utamaro.
