The second one was
sketched the same way, although it is simpler and
cleaner in design.

During this time, I was making no attempts to
either sell prints or promote my work in that
direction at all. I was just trying to get better
at it. I do remember that I had a vague plan to
make a group of prints that portrayed women in
kimono, and to try and get one of the large kimono
magazines interested in doing a monthly page that
would feature them. I assumed that I would then get
orders from readers of the magazine.
But I never followed up this idea, because I got
a bit sidetracked. Although I had made three prints
in the few months since coming to Japan, it would
turn out that over the next couple of years, I
would be able to make no more than one a year (plus
New Year cards).
