「花もよふ 万☆万治ノ頃」

From the series Hana Moyō (Flower Patterns), this print depicts a woman in costume typical of the Manji era (1658–1661), or possibly the Meireki–Manji transitional period of the mid-seventeenth century. The series documents historical women's fashion through [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) compositions in which the figure's kimono and obi serve as the primary vehicle for period-specific textile patterns. The garment designs of this period featured bold, large-scale motifs in muted indigo, persimmon, and gray tones characteristic of early Edo taste before the emergence of the more elaborate Genroku aesthetic. Kiyochika renders the textile surfaces with attention to woven and dyed pattern, situating the figure within a composition that balances historical documentation with the aesthetic conventions of the bijin-ga genre.
