Catalog note / 解説

A beauty from the tea-house Suminoe in the district of Shiba from a series: “Comparing the Charms of five Beauties”. The picture-riddle (in the circular cartouche top right) gives the identity of the beauty on each design. In the second edition the riddle is replaced with a flower design. Published by Omiya Gonkuro c.1795-6. Very good impression. Slight fading. Thinned top left and paper strengthened. Signed Shomei Utamaro hitsu. Status: Sold
