Hour of the Snake (10 am) - Lovely portrait of a young beauty after her bath. She dries the side of her face with the sleeve of her blue tie-dyed kimono as a young attendant kneels beside her holding a cup of tea. The background of this print is flecked with metallic particles, emulating Utamaro's original.
