Description from the seller
One image from the Japanese woodblock print by Kawashiro Yoshitora titled Edo Meisho Mitate: Five Festivals.
This is a bijin-ga (beautiful woman) print that prominently features a woman in an extravagant kimono, with a framed miniature print in the background depicting famous places in Edo. The miniature print in the background includes the characters “芝増上寺” (Shiba Zojo-ji), showing a composition that combines Edo’s notable spots with female fashion.
The scene bears the title placard “江都名所見立五節句,” and there are signs that read “芳虎画” (painted by Yoshitora), as well as publisher’s marks and what appear to be reprint marks.
