Series; Thirty-two Aspects in the Modern Style, 1859
The Hurried Type - Attractive image of a beauty in a hurry, trying to tie her striped obi around her waist quickly as she leans forward, a roll of tissues caught between her teeth. She wears a blue striped kimono with a black collar over a red under robe with a print collar, her hair pulled back into a smooth bun adorned with a comb, hairpins, and a white ribbon. The inset by Gengyo at upper right shows two umbrellas and a pair of geta clogs beneath a glowing paper lantern. Nicely detailed with fine line work in the hair and soft bokashi shading in the background. Also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
