Comments - Charming portrait of a beauty in a pleasure boat, leaning forward to pour a cup of sake from a bottle decorated with a scarecrow. She smiles happily, dressed in an informal tie-dyed blue kimono with a pattern of dots and butterflies, tied with a black obi. A wooden piling can be seen at left, with a rolled up reed blind overhead. An attractive design fine line work in the hair, and soft shading in the water and night sky.
