DescriptionMFA impressions: 00.1934, 11.20641
From a surimono series divided into at least two (possibly three) parts, or perhaps two different series with the same title. The first group includes seven known designs of assorted specialities of Yamashiro Province. The second group, including this design, is slightly larger in size and includes three bust portraits of women (the other two are a courtesan and a woman of Ohara).
