Description
Cloth Beating Moon from the 100 Aspects of the Moon (Tsuki hyakushi)
Beautiful, original Yoshitoshi print depicting a woman of high rank beating cloth. The noise of beating cloth, to soften it or wash, was associated in Japanese culture with a woman waiting for her husband to return. Though it is a lowly work, the mistress beats the cloth to busy herself while she waits for her husband to return.
13 x 8 5/8 + margins
