About
In the final print of this nostalgic series, Yoshitoshi presents the future in a very modern-looking woman of his own time period and the only one in the set dressed in Western clothes. This married lady of the upper class is set against tall, blooming irises, indicating that the portrait depicts her during the month of May. She epitomizes the height of Western fashion, complete with bustle, buttons, bow tie, and parasol.
