The Courtesan Aizome of the Ebiya (From the series Eight Views of the Tale of Genji)
The artwork depicts a woman seated on the floor, wearing a traditional Japanese kimono with a floral pattern featuring pink, yellow, and green hues on a black background. The kimono has a blue lining and a blue and white checkered hem. Her hair is styled in an updo adorned with a yellow hairpiece. She holds a long scroll in her hands. To the left of the woman, a pink and white folding fan with blue tassels is visible. Above the fan, a vertical strip of paper displays a scenic landscape with trees, water, and a bridge. The background of the artwork is beige with Japanese characters written vertically along the left side and in a column to the right of the woman.
