Beauty Watching Leaves in Rain - Lovely scene of a beauty standing in a shoji window opening, smiling as she watches rain slanting down across the gray sky, the wind carrying leaves with it. She smiles happily as she holds onto the window frame, one bare foot peeking from beneath her kimono, her obi loosely wrapped about her. At lower right, a stone water basin is nestled beneath foliage, while a garden gate at left frames the stone lantern. A beautiful design from this rarely seen Kuniyoshi beauty series.
