The woman depicted is thought to be captured in a scene from daily life in the Edo period. The long, thin object she is holding might look like a toothpick at first glance, but it is believed to be a Fusayōji, which was the equivalent of a toothbrush at the time.

This print captures a moment of personal grooming around the mouth. Such gestures of preparation were popular subjects for expressing subtle sensuality and charm within everyday life.

This piece can be enjoyed as a sophisticated and tasteful scene.

The paper is Japanese washi paper, and you can feel the charm of a hand-printed woodblock.
The subdued green and blue colors are also beautiful, with patterns such as kimono designs and checkered patterns depicted.
However, there are also imperfections due to age. Please consider this before making a purchase.
