Description: This is one print from Mizuno Toshikata's famous "Selection of Thirty-six Beauties" (or "Thirty-six Elegant Selections") series. Each print in this series had a title denoting the period in which the scene was set, and a beautiful woman in the costume of that era. This particular print, the 23rd in the series, is set in the Meireki era (1655-58), and shows a woman strolling with a child along a river.

There is some delightful blind-embossing to the title box in the print, and the eyeshadow of the woman has been printed very delicately.

There are some very minor ink marks to the print.
