石灯篭に若い女性
In this preparatory drawing for a print, a young woman is making an effort to fulfill a vow by making one of a number of visits to a shrine. She is using the objects in her hands as counters. The image evokes an atmosphere of sincerity and purity.
Yoshitoshi’s use of Western methods of sketching and perspective results in an image quite comfortable and familiar to the modern eye.
