This woodblock print carries the artist's own name as its catalog title, indicating that it was indexed from a dealer or auction listing without a recorded original title. The Scholten Japanese Art gallery handled this print, placing it within the New York-based market for Japanese prints that has served collectors since the early twentieth century. Jinbo is tagged as a [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) and portrait artist, and this particular work likely depicts a female figure given the consistency of his subject matter. His prints in the [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) tradition tend toward idealized beauty rendered with refined carving and careful color application. The [oban](/glossary/oban) format, measuring roughly 10 by 15 inches, was the standard size for shin-hanga figure prints and the format in which Jinbo produced much of his known output.
