A portrait for the very beautiful geiko Tomitae. This is one of the most famous and popular geishas of all time. This time, she's wearing a coral coloured kimono with YukiYanagi (Snow Willow Flower ) motifs. The YukiYanagi has been described as snowflakes turning into flowers, a beautiful sight flying in the garden...bunches of graceful snow willows, like a string of snowflakes flying in the sky. Snow willow blooms in spring and fruits in autumn. The flower symbolises uniqueness, abundant harvest and good fortune.
