Just in time for the holidays! A signed hand painted portrait of a Japanese girl with a fan. She is wearing the traditional split peach hairstyle. Notice please the lovely hair ornament with the flying crane and the Japanese flags. Our Maiko friend tells us that even today the apprentice Geisha wears this waxed hairstyle. Our friend says she went to the hairdresser daily and eventually got a small bald spot from this painful, time consuming process. Her hair grew back and she remembers this part of her Maiko experience with a sweet smile. The portrait is hand painted and in prefect condition. Excellent gift idea. 7.25 wide 7.75 long
