Series; A Mirror of the Flowering of Manners and Customs, 1878
Beauty in the Snow - Attractive portrait of a beauty preparing to board a pleasure boat, using a partially closed umbrella as shelter from the falling snow. She wears an olive green kimono trimmed with a purple triangle pattern over a red under robe with a tan collar featuring snow-covered willow branches, a purse wrapped in tissues tucked under her brown brocade obi. A great composition, beautifully detailed with fine light work in the hair and soft shading in the wintry sky. A handsome image from this seldom seen Kunichika beauty series.
