Description: This print is included in a set of 50 prints called "Ukiyo Ekagami," a collection of various artists and genres, which was probably a reproduction in the pre-war period.

This design is from a set of 5 prints, depicting courtesans of the northern quarter, showing different styles of women. It depicts a large head portrait of a courtesan holding a roll of white cloth (or paper). Elegantly styled with her hair pulled back and decorated, her red lips slightly open with a joyful expression, her eyes looking in one direction make us think that she is probably waiting for nice company ...

There are slight dents near the mouth. Also, there are a few marks on the margins.
