Description: The lady on this print is gazing away from the letter she is writing, as she carefully considers her next sentence. The somewhat strange color of her lips is caused by traditional lipstick made of safflower which causes a greenish glow similar to that of jewel beetles.

A reproduction published by Ishu Kanko-kai and produced by Kajikawa Kobo probably in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
