About the piece
Painted in 1907 by Okada Saburōsuke, this portrait is a masterful example of the Yōga style, blending Western oil techniques with Japanese subjects. The sitter is depicted with refined grace, her vibrant red kimono and tsuzumi drum set against a richly textured, golden-hued background that suggests the influence of traditional Japanese screen painting.
