Comments - Lovely Utamaro pillar print depicting a pair of lovers. The young samurai grins as he looks back over his shoulder, his swords at his side and a folding fan decorated with a blossoming plum tree in his hand. The beauty looks the opposite direction, her hair pulled back into a large smooth bun adorned with a red bow and a few hairpins. A handsome Edo era design.
