About this print
Seated with one knee raised, a woman leans her body to the left, while her face turns to the right with her eyes lowered. Her kimono is light blue with white patterns, and on the right lies another cloth, yellow-green and scattered with purple and red flowers. A large red band runs diagonally behind her, and on the off-white ground in the upper right, a scene that looks like trees and buildings is drawn in faint ink lines.
In Asakusa, the place in the title, the grounds of Sensoji Temple became Asakusa Park under a government decree of 1873. The Edo-period five-story pagoda that stood in the grounds had been built in 1648, and it burned in the Great Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945.
Look closely around her head, and a long hairpin juts out at a slant from her hair. It makes her head look noticeably bigger.
