The Courtesan Hanaōgi of the Ōgiya Brothel (Ōgiya Hanaōgi), from the series Beauties of the Pleasure Quarters as Six Floral Immortals (Seirō bijin rokkasen)
A woman sits on the floor, wearing a traditional Japanese kimono with a brown base color and floral designs. The kimono's sleeves and hem have green and orange accents. Her hair is styled in an updo, adorned with black and beige hairpins. The woman holds a partially opened fan in her hands. A low table to her left contains various objects: a container with brushes, an inkstone, and a small bottle. A scroll hangs on the wall behind her, featuring a flower design and Japanese text. The background of the image is a solid yellow color. The woman's posture and attire suggest a traditional Japanese setting, likely from the 18th or 19th century. Japanese characters are on the right side of the woman.
