Comments - Handsome depiction of three elegant courtesans strolling along the Nakana-cho in the Yoshiwara. The beauty in the left wears a black kimono with a fierce dragon on it, tied with an obi depicting a tiger prowling through a bamboo forest. The woman in the center is dressed in an outer robe featuring a lion and a waterfall, while the courtesan at right has a "straw raincoat" turtle with a mossy tail on her kimono, a sign of longevity. The low fence behind them encloses a garden filled with blossoming cherry trees and flowering shrubs. A wonderful Edo era beauty triptych.
