Elegant original woodblock print of the kuchi-e (口絵) type entitled "Beauty Looking at Irises" (佳人看菖蒲) and made by the artist Mizuno Toshikata (水野年方) as the frontispiece of the novel "New Songs of Itako" (新潮来曲) by the novelist and journalist Emi Suiin (江見水蔭).

The print on Japanese washi paper (和紙), despite the right signs of aging, is in very good general condition.
