Description: This hashira-e-ban or pillar-picture format print depicts a young woman cooling off her foot outside a garden. Hashira-e is a type of Japanese ukiyo-e print, specifically designed to be hung on interior pillars as decoration. These long and narrow prints, typically measuring around 76 cm in height and 13 cm in width, were popular during the Edo period.

The young woman is wearing a purple kimono and lifting it with one hand to uncover her foot, which she places on a small rock fountain in front of a veranda. With her other hand, she is holding onto a branch of plum blossom to maintain her balance.

The vibrant colors and patterns of the kimono—purple, red, pink, and green—add charm, dynamism, and vivacity to the overall design.

This particular print is a reproduction from the early Showa period.

Please note that this print will be folded for shipping.

This print has sight foxing overall, folds in the middle area, stains and a chip at the top. Also, there are some tape residues on both sides.
