Yoshino in Yamato Province, early 1830s - Lovely portrait of a beauty walking through the snow in tall wooden geta clogs, a black hood wrapped around her head against the cold. She wears a blue coat with a black collar over her kimono, an umbrella in her hand. An ornate lantern decorated with colorful beaded tassels frames an aizuri-e or all blue view of Yoshino, the hills dotted with blossoming trees. The title cartouche at upper right is bordered with delicate scrolls, feathery leaves, and small blossoms. A charming design from a rarely seen series, also in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
