Title: [Unknown Oiran Portrait]
Media Type: Woodcuts
Source: Print and Picture Collection
Notes:

Yeisan depicts a Oiran in green and pink.

"Yeizan" is written in pencil on the back of the print, but comparison of the artist chop and signature to those at the MET suggest this print to be by the same artist.
