The Maiko Momotaro (1920)
““The Maiko Momoharu* (Peach Spring) by the Kamo River in Kyoto.” Photo caption translated from the German.
*Although the caption identifies her as Momoharu, I am pretty sure this is Momotaro (Little Peach Boy).
From an article by Maria Piper, entitled “Gattin oder Geisha, herrenfeste und tänzerinnen, impressionen aus dem heutigen Japan - Wife or Geisha, festivals and dancers, impressions of today’s Japan” in Westermanns Monatshefte, Band 146, II; Heft 875, published in 1929, pages 457-464.” (source)
