Description: This print is from a collection of woodblock prints of beautiful women from the Meiji period by a number of leading designers of the day, including Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Ogata Gekko, and Kaburagi Kiyokata. The collection "Meiji no Onna" (Women of Meiji) was published in 1977 by Soudosha, and most of the designs were being reproduced for the first time.

A lovely woman is holding the sleeve of her kimono up to her mouth. Although the composition is simple, the use of color of the layered kimono and the background Noren curtain is beautiful.

There are some light spots on this print (shown in the photos).
