Restaurant near Ryogoku Bridge - Attractive portrait of a beauty from a series pairing women with famous restaurants. She looks over her shoulder with a slight smile, her open lips showing tiny, even white teeth, one hand atop a roll of tissues tucked into her obi. She wears a blue and white kimono with an intricate allover pattern of tiny gourds, over a red tie-dyed under robe with a blue print collar. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek knot, adorned with a tortoiseshell comb and several hairpins. The rectangular inset shows a view of the waterfront near Ryogoku Bridge, with several boats on the water. A classic Edo era beauty design by Eisen.
