Description

The artist is ‘Utagawa Sadakage / Goko-tei’ (歌川貞景/五湖亭) who is known as a student of ‘Utagawa Kunisada’ (歌川国貞)

The woman in this image seems to be in service of a court. The 'karazuri' (embossing) technique is heavily used in this print, and this can be seen more clearly by looking at the image in the “Additional Images”, where the print was photographed under a different light.
