mysterious lady of the ginkgo


I can't find it online right now, but every time I see a ginkgo tree I think of a Japanese woodblock print from the Edo period. If I remember correctly, it featured a young woman by the name of Ginko (Japanese spelling) in a shop. She is wearing a kimono with ginko leaves on it. There must be more to the story, but I am failing to recall it. Information from college classes years ago slips my mind so easily.
