Description
An elegant woman with a well-dressed baby looks over her shoulder as another beautiful woman passes on a jinrikisha. The patterns on the first woman's kimono are very intricate, and the light application of a black pigment on the baby's hat is enough to suggest a soft, perhaps woolen, fabric. Bokashi gradation has been used in various places throughout the print, including on the first woman's lips.
This print appeared in the first volume of the Akebono no Maki part of Murai Gensai's eleven-volume (thirteen-part) novel Hinodejima (日の出島). The Akebono no Maki part was published in Meiji 34 (1901).
