DESCRIPTION
Japanese scene from the master Kunisada 1786-1865,a woodblock print, circa 1845 from the Edo period, showing a female figure sitting by a window in traditional Kimono. In her hand is an origami paper folded bird. The interior has screens, a box, traditional scissors and paper for folding. Part of a series of five images of ladies in waiting, this one shows a Landed Gentlemans Daughter and forms part of my own personal collection. What a fantastic image of Japan!
