Description
"Ryofu" (Cool Breeze). A beauty in light summer kimono. She is holding a blue "uchiwa" fan, and sitting on a rattan chair next to a bamboo window screen. She seems contemplating something in the cool breeze in a summer evening.
A rarely seen portrait of a modern beauty by Mokurei. Her fashionable, western style coiffure is expertly expressed in the crisp lines and fine gradations.
