Gyōja Bushō
Gyoja Busho
A tiger with wide-open eyes spreads large across the hem of her kimono. And at her feet waits one more cat, a small one.
About this print
A woman in a kimono with dark blue and white vertical stripes stands with her body turned to the left, turning only her head to look back to the right. A crouching tiger is drawn large on the hem of the kimono, with bamboo leaves scattered around it. In the hand held behind her back, she grips a slender rod.
Kubo Shunman, who drew it, excelled at pictures of beautiful women and designed many kyoka surimono.
At her feet in the lower right, a small cat with a red collar sits with its face raised, looking toward the woman. From the collar, a thin red cord rises and runs along the side of her kimono up to around her waist.
