Looking at a Book

Comments - Interesting design of two girls looking at a book on a young man's lap. He holds the pages open as the young ladies reach for it, looking down with a solemn expression. He wears a floral print kimono tied with a checked obi, his sword tucked at his side and his hair pulled back into a topknot tied with white cord. The background features a strong wood grain pattern in soft gray, creating a subtle texture. A handsome image, rarely seen in reprint.

Image Size - 15 7/8" x 11 1/4" + top margin as shown
