Wife of Tokugawa Ieshige, No. 9 - Beautiful woodblock print showing the wife of Tokugawa Ieshige, the ninth shogun, writing a poem on a verandah, brush in hand. She looks out at the full moon in the evening sky, reflected in the shimmering waters of the lake below. An elaborate festival decoration hangs overhead, and she wears a deep purple kimono patterned with bright flowers. A lovely scene with fine detail, including delicate embossing on her white kimono collar.
