Comments - Attractive portrait of an elegantly dressed courtesan strolling through the Yoshiwara. She wears a black kimono patterned with large chrysanthemums and trimmed with different chrysanthemum prints, tied with a striking obi that features geometric stripes, rabbits, and peonies. Her hair is adorned with many decorative hairpins and combs. A low fence behind her encloses a garden with flowering yellow yamabuki and a blossoming cherry tree. A charming Edo era beauty subject, with wonderful detail in the fabrics.
