Kasugano of the Sasaya - Lovely portrait of the courtesan Kasugano just after a bath. She smiles happily as she pats her neck dry with the sleeve of her tie-dyed cotton kimono. Her hair is held back with a white ribbon, and a few loose wisps frame her face. A beautiful image enhanced by a shimmering mica background. Rarely seen in reprint.
