This ukiyo-e woodblock print, created in 1830 by the artist Keisai Eisen, depicts a beautiful woman in a vibrant blue kimono adorned with large white circles. The woman is standing with Mount Fuji in the background, a common theme in Japanese art, and is likely a representation of Okitsu, one of the 53 stations on the Tōkaidō road. The lively colors and dynamic composition evoke a sense of movement and beauty, showcasing Eisen's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. This print was part of a series dedicated to the 53 stations, illustrating the journey between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto.
