Saigyo Hill at Oi: Iwai Kumesaburo III as Utsushie - Lovely portrait of Iwai Kumesaburo III as the young beauty Utsushie, smiling happily as she looks over her shoulder, stretching out her kimono sleeve. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek bun, adorned with a comb and hairpins decorated with delicate scrolls. Her red kimono features floral motifs with an insert of iris patterned fabric, the white trim embossed with a textured design. Saigyo Hill at Oi can be seen in the distance above, with a village at the edge of water. A charming image with fine detail in the hair.
