Comments - Beautiful Edo era kakemono or vertical diptych of a young beauty building a snowman in the shape of the god Daruma. She holds an umbrella in one hand and pats a mound of snow with the other. She wears a brown and black coat over an intricately pattern paulownia print kimono, and tall geta clogs, a dotted cloth over her head against the cold air. A classic ukiyo-e beauty subject, nicely composed.
