Comments - Lovely kakemono or vertical diptych of a brine maiden collecting sea water for processing into salt. She smiles as she looks over her shoulder, using on hand to steady a pail hanging from a yoke over her shoulder. Waves lap at the shore behind her, and a pine tree frames the sky. The first time we've seen this attractive Kuniyoshi design.
