| Comments | A strikingly sensuous, dream-like "bijin-ga" image--long flowing hair and brilliant red fabric. Virtually unheard-of artist. Print is quite RARE (only copy we've ever seen)--a reliable source in Tokyo has told us "you are lucky...every copy I have ever seen (has been) very badly foxed." |
