Description: This is a print by Kunisada II depicting Hanamurasaki, a top-class oiran (courtesan) of the Tamaya in Shin-Yoshiwara, Tokyo's red-light district. The print itself is quite scarce, with very little information about it available.

There is some karazuri blind-embossing to the eri collar of the beautiful courtesan, and the colours used in the print are very rich.

There are a few wormholes to the print, and the margins appear to have been trimmed. The extremities are a little worn, and there are a few small stains to the paper.
