Comments - Charming portrait of a Kyoto maiko or apprentice geisha. She wears a soft green and peach kimono with a diamond pattern and white blossoms, tied with a black obi decorated with leaves and a red and gold mica sash. Clusters of flowers adorn her hair, and she has exceptionally long eyelashes. A textured gold mica background sets off the figure nicely. A very painterly modern design the female artist Hisako Kajiwara, who received many awards in Japan for her intriguing beauty portraits.
