Description:
vertical ōban format; nishiki-e; bijinga
Label Text:
This print is signed at lower-left of the central figure "Yasukuni ga" ('drawn by Yasukuni'). Below the signature is the circular kiwame seal of the censor and the mark of publisher Yamamotoya Heikichi of the firm Eikyūdō, the character "kyū" beneath an overlapping double mountain peak. The series title is printed at upper-right. While this ōban sheet does not bear a printed title, one can be presumed, owing to the cherry blossoms in the circular cartouche at upper-left and the series title, a common motif in ukiyo-e bijinga (prints of beautiful women).
