Description :
This courtesan wears a kimono patterned in nadeshiko flowers (“fringed pink” in English), and a remarkably large obi belt covered with dragons flying among storm clouds. Although the delicate blooms and fearsome beasts seem to be opposites, they were both traditional symbols of protecting the innocent from misfortune.
