An illustration for the story Onatsu Kyōran (Onatsu's Madness) which tells the tale of a young woman gone mad by the loss of her lover.  Beneath the image is a descriptive caption, partially transcribed below. I do not know if this illustration was for Tsubouchi Shōyō's 坪內逍遙 (1859-1935) 1914 reworking of this 17th-century story by Ihara Saikaku 井原西鶴 (1642-1693) for the kabuki stage or for a Taishō era serialized version of the original story.

While the artist Oda Tomiya turned to painting in his later life, he is best remembered for his illustrations, both in color and black and white for popular novels during the Taishō era.

Kendall Brown identifies the "golden age" of bijin kuchi-e, illustrations of beautiful women appearing in Taisho-era popular magazines, as the period between 1914 and 1921, with the genre continuing into the 1930s.
