Comments - Lovely kakemono or vertical diptych of a beauty holding open a coat, perhaps for her lover, the robe made from sheer black silk with a crest over the center back. She looks down with a rather dismayed expression, her mouth slightly agape. She wears an intricately patterned blue and gray kimono tied with a plaid obi over a red under robe, her bare feet peeking from beneath the hem. Her hair is swept back into a smooth bun, adorned with a large comb and hairpins decorated with geese, swallows, and a cherry blossom. A charming Edo era design with beautiful detail.
