Description: An very fine sheet of this lovely image, considered on of the artist's finest Yoko-e compositions. The sandalwood fumes rising from the incense burner are blind-printed; the traditional 'gauffrage' on the brilliantly composed gown is one of his best effects in combination with the pale grey and blue tile that seems as soft as a pillow. The grey smoke of the burning sandalwood undulates in 'gauffrage' from the Ch'ing dynasty incense burner.
