Puppet Performance - Wonderful print of two beauties performing a bunraku puppet play, with other beauties playing a hand drum and shamisen for musical accompaniment. A folding screen with pine trees provides a nice backdrop. The audience sits behind a bamboo blind at upper left. A charming print with beautiful color and lots of detail, including delicate embossing in the white kimono trim.
