An attractive original Chikanobu print from the early Meiji era. Four beauties are on a pleasure boat set to entertain wealthy patrons on the water in the evening. A prow of another craft in the shape of a dragon seen just beside them. Nice old print, excellent to display.

This piece is matted in cream with red and black inner borders. The frame is an inch and a half thick and is black with thin, deep red lines surrounding the outer edge. The piece is framed and matted to pair with Kunichika's Beauty on a Pleasure Boat .
