Beauty Reading a Letter Kakemono

Comments - Attractive kakemono or vertical diptych of a beauty reading a letter, leaning against a wooden post as she examines the message carefully. She wears a blue and white chrysanthemum kimono bordered with a wide cherry blossom print over a red under robe, a black obi that reverses to brown stripes wrapped loosely about her waist. A charming design, beautifully suited to the vertical format.
