Description: A very charming design showing a young beauty inside a tatami room sewing a kimono. This showcases Shuntei’s skill for details, the patterns and colors of the clothes she is wearing and sewing really stand out against a more sober and soft background. There is even some silver ink on the red kimono she is sewing, giving a sparkling effect to the whole design.

The background shows a Soji door with a palm design, and behind it, we can see the trunk of a tree in the garden. These nature motifs create an interesting inside-outside effect where the interior and exterior spaces are joined together and could even be confused.

This print is backed and has some stains.
