Comments - Lovely portrait of an elegantly dress courtesan strolling through the Yoshiwara at night. She wears a striking kimono patterned with a lion and peonies, trimmed with floral borders over a red tie-dyed under robe, the three "teeth" of her geta clogs identifying her as an oiran or high ranking courtesan. Behind her, a low bamboo fence encloses yellow yamabuki or mountain roses and blossoming cherry trees. An attractive design, nicely detailed with light embossing on the white collar and trim.
