A seated married woman in black kimono, a young woman holding a fan and a maid in apron with saucer in her hand watch two courtesans walk by, hand in hand. A mistress of a teahouse in a blue and white summer yukata accompanies them. Because of its fine condition and colors, Japanese scholars judge our diptych to be the finest extant version in the world.
