Courtesan, understudy (kamuro) and man-servant under an umbrella
A hanging scroll in full color on silk shows a courtesan in a red patterned kimono holding a large orange umbrella over a bald man in a blue-grey robe and a small child in dark dress. Columns of poetry in black ink and a red seal fill the upper area above the figures against a gold ground.
