Contemporary Beautiful Women with Sceneries of the East: Returning Sail at Shinagawa

Utagawa Kunisada
ca. 1822-25

A child plays with their mother as she is dressing, slipping under her kimono as she attempts to pull a haori over her shoulder. Within a circular cartouche, Shinagawa harbour is depicted which is likely where this woman resides. The series depicts contemporary beautiful women across the different districts across the East of Japan.
