The elegance of the woman in this painting is a clear indication of the place she occupied in this world. Her outer kimono spreads around
her like a long train, decorated with tiny chrysanthemum flowers against a black background. The painter’s signature and a red stamp can be seen on the right, towards the bottom of the painting.
