This print depicts the lady Tomimoto Toyohina, a famously beautiful geisha, admiring a surimono (摺物, ephemeral woodblock-printed paper often featuring poetry). She is dressed in robes that feature her crest - the Japanese primrose. While it is often said in descriptions of this print that she is reading a letter, this is unlikely, as we can see no text on the paper, which is instead patterned with chrysanthemums. The paper is actually probably a surimono printed on thick Japanese paper and folded in two. The original print is thought to have been produced around 1793.
