Comments - Lovely vertical diptych or kakemono of a geisha returning from a bathhouse, a white towel draped across her arm. She wears an elegant green light kimono patterned with white butterflies and blue flower buds, trimmed in black and tied with a checked brown obi that reverses to a striped fabric. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, and she looks down, concentrating her attention on extending the umbrella in her hand. A fantastic composition, beautifully filling the space and leading the eye across the page. A wonderful Edo era beauty subject, great to collect or display.
