Women relaxing on a veranda

Four geisha are relaxing on the engawa porch of a guest room with windows, looking at the garden. The woman on the left has her hair arranged in marumage style with floral hairpins and her striped sash tied in chidori-musubi fashion. She is holding a shamisen lute. The slightly elderly woman next to her is wearing black lacquer clogs with high supports. Next to her is an apprentice geisha, and the woman on the far right wears a brightly coloured kimono. A reed chair is visible on the right. Taken in the late Meiji or Taisho Period.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.
