Comments - Charming portrait of a beauty standing beside bamboo, grinning happily as she adjusts a hairpin. Her kimono is shaded from dark plum to yellow, bordered with delicate green leaves and worn over a red under robe. Her obi features a striking image of a dragon and swirling clouds, a sacred jewel clutched in its claw. An attractive design, nicely suited to the vertical kakemono format. Includes embossing on the white collar.
