Showa-era shojo

Black-and-white Japanese manga. dip-pen lines with crisp tapered ends and strong thick-to-thin variation, coarse halftone dots like old printing, large eyes: irises filled with black or tone with two or three white highlight shapes, eyelashes as a few thick black strokes, tall slender proportions, 8 or more heads tall, the place drawn simply, with one sheet of flower-and-sparkle pattern screentone pasted behind the figure; the flowers are part of the tone pattern, not drawn one by one, nostalgic vintage mood like an old printed page. No text, speech balloons, panel borders, signatures or watermarks. Subject: An adult woman stands holding a small plain notebook in her left hand beside her waist, with her right hand free. One distant costume-workshop doorway. Shoulder-length hair. A plain long-sleeved blouse, a knee-length skirt and low shoes. Show the complete figure from head to feet.
