Description

A beautiful woman stands beneath falling blossoms, resting her arm on the trunk of a tree, and touching her chin, lost in thought. The beige panel behind her is an artistic device used to frame or highlight her beauty, and the blossoms falling in front of the panel are a nice touch. The frontispiece appeared in volume 14, issue 6 of Bungei Kurabu, published in Meiji 41(1908).

Tsutsui Toshimine (1863-1934), the artist of this work, is predominantly known as a kuchi-e artist of the Meiji period. Like several other artists in this group of kuchi-e prints, he was a pupil of the famous ukiyo-e artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
