Kamisaka Sekka

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts three women dancing. The woman on the left wears a green hat, and her kimono has a red base with a geometric pattern in shades of green, blue, yellow, and brown. She has her right arm raised and her left arm extended downward. The woman in the middle has a black kimono with white designs and a yellow and black checkered pattern on the sleeves and hem. She has her hair up in a bun and holds a stick in her right hand. The woman on the right wears a red and white patterned top with a light blue kimono featuring large green leaves. Her hair is also styled in a bun, and she has her right arm raised. All three women appear to be in motion, as if dancing. The background of the image is a light yellow color.
