Description

A young woman with black upswept hair and a pale blue hair ornament stands against a deep indigo-blue background, her head tilted downward with a contemplative expression, one hand raised to touch a comb or pin near her temple. She wears a white kimono patterned with pale blue vines and leaves, cinched with a red obi decorated with black bands and white polka dots, while stylized white calligraphy and a small red seal appear in the surrounding margin. This 1960 original woodcut, titled *Beauty (柳湯)*, is by Takehisa Yumeji.
