The two women, one washing her hair in the eaves of the house, the other combing her hair, and the irises blooming by the pond, are attractive scenes of early summer.

This particular print is a post-war reproduction by Yamada Shoin. Printer: Maruyama / Carver: Koike

There are slight foxing spots and a few marks mostly on the right margin. Please see the pictures for details.
