Description:
From the series, "Shin Bijin Ju-ni Shi" (New Twelve Images of Beauties), "Shoka no Yoku" (Basing in the Early Summer): The background was printed using the new printing technique (showing the circular movement of "baren") to simulate the abstract, post-impressionistic brushworks. The white sketchy outlines instead of the customary black key-block lines also make the figure appear very translucent and airy.
