Impression |
Very Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to face and kimono's designs; shimmering silver "mica"
background; nicely over-printed hair-lines; highly detailed carving. |

Excellent. Strong colors. Very clean frontside and verso. (A few tiny marks--otherwise flawless.) |

Comments |
Clothed in a fashionable hearts/diamonds/clubs/spades kimono, this "moga" (modern girl) beauty gazes forward hypnotically.
Unquestionably Shuho's most recognizable and most sought-after design. An exceptional print--very rarely seen. |
