Description:

from an album of twelve prints, a geisha with resplendent robes entwined with a customer; at upper right on a serving tray a fish presented on a porcelain dish, at left is a sake kettle and cup, the folded packet of tissues nearby suggests their encounter has just begun, with karazuri ('blind-printing') on the black and white shibori lining her kosode, and metallic printing on the lacquer tray and her brocade obi, ca. 1815
