| Impression |
Exceptionally Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to kimono, purple collar, shoji window, wall, and face; "burnishing" to bijin's hair; crisply detailed lines. |
| Condition |
Very Good++. Strong colors.
(Scattered remnants of old backing; very minor wrinkling; light wear.)
Without the two folds typical of most "kuchi-e". |
| Reference/Illus |
See Article #10: "Kuchi-e," or Literary Magazine Frontispieces. |
| Comments |
A wonderfully printed image--this teahouse waitress appears to repel that advances of an older customer before a decorative, round shoji window. |
