Prosperous House and Modern Girls [Sakaegusa tōsei musume]

Catalog note / 解説

This woman is arranging her hair. She has slipped her top kimono down to her waist so she can move freely. On the ground are combs and a pair of scissors, while under the mirror lies the distinctive blue and white packaging of Sanjokō face powder. Such product placement reveals the close commercial links between printmaking and fashion. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
