Title: [Hanakotoba Sugoroku].
Description: Shin Shojo 1918 (Taisho 7). 55x40cm colour broadside. Rather good. ¶ This decorative but not always gentle sugoroku about the meaning of flowers was the new year gift for 1918 from the magazine Shin Shojo - New Girl. There is too much pain and misery here for me; a tough bunch these new girls.
