Comments - Terrific kakemono or vertical diptych of a beauty standing on a pleasure boat under a full moon. She rests one hand on the roof of the cabin as she pauses to look up at the night sky, a roll of tissues caught between her teeth. Her dark blue kimono is shaded from blue green to pale rose at the hem with a border of leaves and Genji symbols, tied with a green obi patterned with gray blossoms. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has this image in its collection. A classic Edo era beauty subject that would make an attractive framed display.
