Susaki, 1857 - Attractive image of a beauty enjoying a stroll on a cool day. A green hood is tied around her head with a white sash, and she holds the sleeves of her plaid kimono up to her chest as if trying to keep warm. She wears tall wooden geta sandals, and her black print kimono reverses to a pale gray color. The lush grasses beneath her feet grow over a rocky ledge with water in the distance. The inset above Kunihisa II shows a view of Susaki with buildings along the shore and the sails of ships in the distance. Nicely colored and shaded. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
