Series; Beauties of the Yoshiwara as Six Floral Immortals
Kisegawa of the Matsubaya - Lovely image of the courtesan Kisegawa of the Matsubaya unrolling a scroll with a scene from the "Tale of Genji." She looks down with her mouth slightly open, pulling up the edge of her outer robe, which features a delicate feathery motif. Another scroll lies partially wrapped in cloth on the floor nearby. Nicely detailed with embossing in the white kimono collar and the ends of the scrolls. Rarely seen in reprint.
