Comments - Lovely Eizan design of a beauty reading a long letter, unrolling it with an eager expression, a cloth caught between her teeth. She wears a green kimono with an intricate floral pattern over a striped red robe trimmed with blue tie-dyed fabric, tied with a black obi. Her hair is pulled sleekly back, held in place with a comb and hairpins. She leans back against a wooden pillar, a lantern hanging at upper left. The composition beautifully fits the kakemono or vertical diptych format. A classic Edo era beauty print.
