Comments - Attractive kakemono or vertical diptych of an elegantly dressed courtesan. She wears a tan kimono decorated with what appear to be three-dimensional cherry blossoms, trimmed with layers of brocade patterned with paulownia blossoms and leaves. Her black obi features a striking design of a dragon and swirling clouds. She looks back over her shoulder with a smile, her long hair combed back over her shoulders and adorned with tortoiseshell hairpins and combs. A handsome image, nicely detailed.
