About this work

Geisha in a green-yellow kimono with red lining, against a blue background with calligraphic texts. In the top left, a fan-shaped cartouche with the image of a seated actor. The print is a reference to old songs related to the pleasure quarters and kabuki theater. The calligraphy in the background is part of such a song.
