Fine impression and colours, very good condition: a few tiny spots. Asada Benji has added the following text: "As Ippitsusai Buncho introduced beautiful waitress Kasamatsu Osen to the people today, I wanted to introduce publicly some portraits of waitresses. They are the flowers of Cafe under the red and blue lights.
