Sugatano of the Sugata-Ebiya - Beautiful image of the courtesan kneeling Sugatano of the Sugata-on the floor and reading a poem slip. She rests her chin on her hand as she looks down at the message, a slight smile on her lips. She wears layers of beautiful kimono, the fabric flowing around her. Beautiful detail in the sumptuous fabrics and expressive face. Handsome embossing in the white kimono collar and title cartouche. A lovely classic Edo era subject.
