Description

A very coquettish pose, with her finger touching her chin, is a gesture not commonly seen. Utamaro must have been very delighted to capture this unique moment.

All the prints in this series are quite well produced, immaculately carved and printed. Specifically, in this print, we are very impressed by the fineness of the hair at the side of her face, which smoothly flow and connect to her hairline.

A small paulownia flower-shape decoration at the edge of one of her hairpins harmonizes beautifully with the pattern of her blue kimono.
