In the first impressions, the earrings were printed in a bronze metallic pigment. Soon it was replaced by matte gold, as seen in this impression. The background had to be printed three times in order to reach the saturated and intense salmon colour. The lines in the eyebrows are astonishingly fine, which shows the skills of Yamagishi.
