Print by Kitagawa Utamaro, 喜多川歌麿 (Kitagawa UTAMARO) (1803)
Catalog note / 解説
Mishima, Province of Settsu ( or Toi ) from a set of Six Crystal ( Tama ) Rivers, Furyu mu tamagawa. The streams were noted for the purity of their water and the three girls are shown fulling cloth ( hence Toi which is the alternative name of the river and the word for beating cloth ). Published by Izumiya Ichibei, c.1803-4. This appears to be from a set – like others of Utamaro’s – that could be viewed separately or as a continuous composition. See Yoshida, Utamaro zenshu, p. 173 for another design from the set. Rare. Fine impression and colour. Full size. One minor mark, otherwise very good condition. Signed Utamaro fude. Status: Available
