The present picture belongs to a tradition going back to Whistler's Japanese subjects of the 1860s and '70s, by way of paintings inspired by visits to Japan by Whistler's pupil Mortimer Menpes (1887), Alfred East (1889) and the two 'Glasgow Boys', George Henry and E.A. Hornel (1893-4). The picture's title is taken from Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy opera The Mikado, first staged in March 1885.

The canvas is unlined and is what is probably the original stretcher which is providing good support. Under UV light there is some retouching to the edges of the canvas, mainly in the lower left corner, and along the upper edges. There is infilling to craquelure concentrated in the upper right quadrant, and mainly to background areas. There are some further small scatterings of retouching to her cheeks, neck and nose, to the lower folds of her deress and to the lanterns behind her.
