Comments - Attractive portrait of a high-ranking courtesan and her two young kamuro or child apprentices strolling through a busy street lined with teahouses and shops. She wears a striking outer kimono featuring a folding fan with a peony on top and flowing red hair, both worn as part of a lion dancer's costume, tied with a blue obi with a design of stylized waves. The girls wear matching robes, and one carries a parcel wrapped in green cloud print cloth. The ocean can be seen in the distance, ships dotting the water and mountains along the horizon. A lovely image with beautiful detail and a handsome setting.
