The painting "Three Maiko" by Tsuchida Bakusen depicts three young maiko apprentices sitting on the floor in traditional kimono, playing cards.
The artwork is created in the Nihonga style (traditional Japanese painting), featuring soft lines, delicate pastel colors, and attention to detail. The composition conveys a sense of warmth and relaxation, capturing a rare moment of leisure for the maiko, who are usually engaged in rigorous training in the arts of the geisha.
