Hizo Nihon bijutsu taikan Vol 3
A young woman of a good family, wearing a kimono with long, trailing sleeves, with a pattern of scattered orchids around the base of the skirt, is shown with a woman wearing a vertical-striped kimono with a sash in a complex pattern known as 'yabure-shokko'. The young woman's hat, the way she holds up the long sleeves of her kimono, and the way her companion's sash is tied in the front, show that they are out walking.
Watanabe Nangaku, a native of Kyoto, studied with Maruyama Okyo and specialized in pictures of young women, the present work being a good illustration of the virtues of his style.
