Description

A young maiko in a red and white floral kimono with a wide floral obi stands on a wooden veranda beside a tall paper andon lantern, holding a closed fan and looking off to the side; her hair is styled with ornamental pins and combs. Behind her, a river or lakeside landscape with pine trees and low green hills is visible, rendered in soft blues and greens against a pale sky. Hasegawa Sadanobu III's woodblock print MAIKO (Summer), date unknown, uses flat, saturated color blocks typical of the medium, with the word "SAGAMIYA" printed above the scene.
