Mitsuito of the Hyogoya - Lovely image of the beauty Mitsuito of the Hyogoya playing a shamisen as a young attendant carrying a kettle pauses beside her to listen. She wears an olive green kimono bordered with birds in flight and an embossed pattern, tied with a red tie-dyed obi. Behind her, an elegant folding screen features an ink painting of bamboo in bold calligraphic strokes. An attractive design, rarely seen in reprint, with a dusting of mica on the white kimono collar and hairpins.
