Description
A woman in a multi-patterned kimono and ichimatsu-moyo (checkered) obi hangs a poem on a blossoming cherry tree in front of a manmaku curtain in this famous print by Toyonobu. The print is an urushi-e, an image featuring a hand-applied mixture of glue and black pigment to look like lacquer, most prominent in the thick texture of the crest on the curtain in the background. The pink blush on the woman's cheek is a nice touch bringing out the theme of feminine beauty in the print.
This reproduction is a sumizuri-e (ukiyoe printed with black pigment) with fudezaishiki (hand colouring by brush).
