Girl in Kimono

"Girl in Kimono" is one of Ebina's few prints that steps outside the Genji narrative to depict a figure subject — a young girl dressed in traditional kimono — likely reflecting the broader figurative work he produced alongside his Genji series. The subject connects to the long Japanese tradition of depicting children in formal dress as images of innocence, formality, and cultural continuity. Ebina's treatment of the figure would bring the same care for graceful line and atmospheric color that distinguish his Genji illustrations.
