She steps forward into the frame wearing her tabi socks. The figure wears a formal eboshi-style court cap and garments decorated with auspicious motifs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated during the height of the Edo period, the print exemplifies Koryūsai's refined approach to bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). The tall, narrow composition is characteristic of hashira-e, or pillar prints, a distinctive format designed to decorate the wooden pillars of traditional Japanese interiors. Delicate linework, graceful drapery, and a serene expression reflect the sophisticated elegance that made Koryūsai one of the most influential artists of the eighteenth century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Signature: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Koryūsai ga\" (Drawn by Koryūsai)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood color and impression.
