Description: This print depicts a standing beauty, the absence of a figurative background gives all the attention to the young woman, and her kimono is the true protagonist of the design. She is lifting the front of her robes to ease her movement, revealing the intricate layers beneath.

Her kimono is remarkable and the outer robe is decorated with floral patterns and delicate bokashi (color gradation), highlighting the designer’s attention to detail. The overall composition emphasizes the elegance and refinement of both the figure and the kimono.

There are some stains on the backside.
