A geisha in profile — her hair pinned with cherry blossom ornaments and kanzashi, a peony-embroidered kimono draped across her shoulder, butterflies lifting off above her. The composition moves upward, from solid brushstroke ink at the base to lighter linework and scattered butterflies at the top.

At 105 × 180 mm, this is a tall, portrait-format piece. It suits the upper arm, thigh, or calf — anywhere it can run vertically and be seen whole. Also works on the shoulder blade or upper back.
