Comments - Handsome kabuki scene of a matron and a young girl outside a shrine. The woman gently touches the child under her chin as the girl looks up with a smile. She is wearing a string of votive slips around her neck like those worn by people on a pilgrimage. A stone railing runs along the base of the grassy slope behind them, with the pillar of a torii gate at upper right and blossoming cherry branches. The background is divided diagonally with a tie-dyed textile pattern at upper left. Nicely colored and detailed, with burnishing on the black obi and kimono collar.
