Motoyama: Yamauba, 1852 - Charming design of a young court dancer performing a dance dressed as the wild mountain woman Yamauba. She waves a fan gracefully as she floats on a cloud above the mountains below. Her outer kimono features a bold design of flowers and leaves against yellow and blue geometric bands. Her red under robe is patterned with bamboo leaves, and her hair is tied back with a white sash. The leaf-shaped inset at upper left shows a village with clouds of mist settling over the scene. An interesting print with soft shading in the dark sky and fine detail in the elegant kimono fabric.
