Comments - Attractive kakemono or vertical diptych of a tea house waitress carrying a black lacquer cup stand. Her brown kimono is patterned with tiny olive green gourds, and she lifts her red and green geometric print apron as she walks along on tall wooden geta sandals, a dotted towel draped over her arm. Her hair is arranged in a smooth bun adorned with a lacquer comb and decorative hairpins, a few loose wisps framing her face. A charming design and a lovely choice for display.
