Note: Senô Shin Kouta (セノオ新小唄) No. 1.  
This song was first performed by Matsui Sumako
(松 須磨子) in a Japanese adaptation of Leo
Tolstoy's  novel Resurrection and subsequently
enjoyed great commercial success as stand-alone
song.  The print appears to be inspired by a
production photo showing Matsui Sumako in a
 similar but not identical dress.
