Description
Momijibana 紅葉花 Flowers of red leaves. Paper size: 26.5 x 77.5 cm. (two joined ōban sheets). From the series Musume, Junikagetsu Soroi (Girls, 12 Months), self-printed in February 1985 in an edition of 80. The month depicted is November. Description in Taki Shusui catalog: At twilight, a girl enters a dressing room for a bath, then hides herself at a faint sound - a gesture of shyness typical of a young girl. She uses a hair band so her sidelocks and fall of hair will not come undone.
