Signed to lower left together with red artist's seal, title and date in right hand margin, a stunning image of a Japanese maiko, an apprentice geisha who performs songs, dances, and plays the shamisen, she is dressed in a beautiful cherry blossom kimono with flowers in her hair standing with open fan in front of a gold leaf screen, professionally framed with fabric mat, not examined outside of frame.

Asai Hidemi Learned her painting from the bijin-ga master Ito Shinshu. She was mainly a traditional Japanese painter, and created very few woodblock prints before she died.

Very good color, impression, and condition.
