Comments - Handsome portrait of a courtesan out for a stroll, wearing a striking black outer kimono that features a fierce dragon. Her hair is adorned with floral hairpins and an unusual headdress with a streamer decorated with folded paper and bows trailing over her shoulder. A fence behind her encloses a blossoming cherry tree. A lovely Edo era beauty design.
