The Hour of the Horse [noon]: Shrine Maiden (Uma no koku, miko), from the series A Clock of the Customs of Beauties (Fūzoku bijin tokei)

A shrine maiden in a pale pink robe patterned with bamboo leaves stands at right, a red under-layer showing at the collar and a large white hood-like headdress framing her face; she holds a long wand hung with folded white paper strips (gohei) over her shoulder. Beside her a young attendant in a green robe and black eboshi-style cap holds a gold-ornamented staff or sword hilt tied with red cord. Set against a plain warm-grey background, the print includes a title cartouche and vertical text at upper left; the palette is limited to soft pink, green, red, black, and white.
