The Monzeki Temple in Tsukiji, 1857 - Charming portrait of a religious pilgrim paying a visit to the Monzeki Temple in Tsukiji. The beauty smiles as she pauses in front of a vendor's stand, carrying a book in one hand and her water dipper in the other. She wears a white pilgrim's vest over a blue kimono and blue tie-dyed under robe, a string of prayer beads wrapped around one wrist and a large black wicker trunk strapped to her back. The vendor's stand is piled with displays of fruit, including netted sacks hanging from an umbrella overhead. An attractive design with fine cloth embossing in the white vest and soft bokashi shading in the background.
