Description: This print portrays the elegant courtesan Segawa of the Matsubaya, flanked by two younger girls, likely her attendants or apprentices. They are all dressed in matching kimonos, creating a harmonious composition. Segawa’s kimono is a darker shade of pink, adorned with iris patterns, while the younger girls' kimonos feature a softer pink, with their sleeves trimmed in colorful ribbons, adding a playful touch.

In the background, curtains frame the scene, indicating a tea stall overhead. The edge of a bench is visible on the left, and on the right, a barrel stacked with pails of water.

The print captures a moment of camaraderie, highlighting both the beauty of the courtesan and the youthful charm of the girls.

This version is a post-war reproduction by Adachi Company.
