Artist, Japanese, 1891 - 1967

The image shows a young woman in a head-and-shoulders pose, slightly turned to the side. She has a serene expression with a stylish haircut featuring short bangs and well-coiffed sides. She is wearing a coat with a textured, diamond-patterned fabric and fur trim along the collar and cuffs, and holding a velvet or silk object with elaborate embroidery near her waist. The background is an indistinct studio setting typical of portrait photography, with soft, neutral tones.
