Young Woman Amid Morning Glories 17/30, printed in 1956, presents a female figure surrounded by or framed against the large, trumpet-shaped flowers of the morning glory (asagao) — a flower associated in Japan with the Edo period's popular culture and with the fleeting quality of early morning beauty, each bloom lasting only a single day. Hashimoto's treatment of this [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) adjacent subject demonstrates his range beyond architectural subjects, the botanical richness of the morning glory providing a naturalistic setting for the female figure.
