Under falling maple leaves in late autumn, a woman is bathing in a hot spring. Here might be in the mountains where is nobody paying attention to her. She is a Japanese woman who has white skin and black hair. A firm and luscious behavior is seen in her wiping her legs.
Basing on the Beauties of Ukiyo-e style, this print depicts the new woman in the Showa Period.
Good condition, colors and impression Slightly soiled
