The Courtesan Kashiwagi and the Kamuro Wakano and Chiyono from the Kadoebi House on Kyo Street, circa 1820 - 1830 - Wonderful portrait of the courtesan Kashiwagi of the Kadoebi House on Kyo Street, standing just outside the entrance gate of the establishment. She wears a fantastic black outer kimono patterned with a three-dimensional dragon, red flames, and swirling clouds. Her hair is arranged with tortoiseshell combs and hairpins decorated with flowers and spools of thread. Although her kamuro or child apprentices are mentioned by name in the text, they are not shown in the picture. A terrific Edo era beauty design.
