Notes
Medium: Woodblock print, Color prints
Depiction: In this print, the restaurant is named in the long, vertical cartouche on the right, and its specialties are pictured and named in the cartouche above, sake and grilled fish. The woman's interest in contemporary CDVs underscores her position as a modern woman. One of the CDVs in her hand is stamped on the back, "Uchida Kuichi of Asakusa." The background of this print depicts two fashionable fabric designs of the time. --notes from Charles Schwartz CS3690
