Color woodblock print of a standing woman in layered pink and green kimono holding one hand up, with a black lacquer box at her feet against a brown background.

A Selection of Beauty from the Pleasure Quarters (Seiro bisen awase): Misayama of the Chojiya in Night Dress (Tokogi no zu - Chojiya Misayama)

A standing woman in an elaborate layered kimono, rendered in soft pinks, greens and golds, lowers her gaze while lifting one hand near her chest. A dark lacquered box sits at her feet against a deep brown background. The print's vertical oban format and delicate linework show a refined ukiyo-e figure study.
