Her hair is swept into a high dark bun, and a pale blue under-kimono shows at the neckline against the flat cream background. Vertical text and a red seal appear in the upper right; the print is by Kobayakawa Kiyoshi, titled *Styles of Contemporary Make-up: no. 3, Nails (Kindaijisesho no uchi: san- Tsume)*, woodblock print, year unknown.
