A Young Woman with a Dog ("Pictures of Ten Styles" - Jittaiga Fuzoku 十禮画風俗) by Torii Kiyonaga, ca. 1790–91

A beautiful woman, wrapped in sumptuous robes, layer after layer of silks - red outer garment covered in chrysanthemum roundels in delicate colors, peachy furisode with orchid designs showing underneath, the cream underrobe and red undergarment eventually leading your gaze to the tiny white foot peeking out.
Her stature, hairstyle and expensive outfit show her as a woman of high standing. Anchoring her cascading robes to the floor is another creature of breeding and elegance, a Japanese spaniel, a distinctive toy breed favoured by nobility and royalty. She gazes down on the little dog with that familiar expression (that we all have when we look at cute animals :), slight smile on her flawless face.

Haiku calligraphy on the back of the card:

"Yellow chrysanthemums,
white chrysanthemums -
as for me, I want a red one too!"

Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902)
