Description
A young woman in a bright red kimono patterned with white cherry blossoms and a checkerboard-and-floral collar sits with her head bowed, tending to the nails of her outstretched hand. 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.
