Description: This half-length portrait of the courtesan Madoka presents her in a thoughtful pose as she closely examines a grey haori (outer coat) decorated with a paulownia crest and a white-dotted pattern. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the finely executed hairstyle, arranged in two large loops and adorned with multiple hair ornaments.

Her outer robe has been pushed down to her waist, allowing a full view of the purple kimono underneath, which is patterned with maple leaves, and cinched at the waist with a bright yellow obi, creating a striking contrast and adding vibrancy to the overall composition.

This print is a reproduction by the Adachi Company.
