Description: A girl is weaving cotton on a handloom. At first glance, the threads appear to be all white, but it is actually the kara-zuri (embossing) technique, and the threads seem to float softly in the bright pink background. Harunobu was the originator of the technique of iro-tsubushi in which the background is painted over with a single color, and in this print, the bright pink of the background is eye-catching.

This particular print is a post-war reproduction by Yamada Shoin.


There is a pink mark in the lower right area of this print.
