In the centre poses Tomimoto Toyohina,[lower-alpha 1] a famed geisha of the Tamamuraya house in the Yoshiwara pleasure district.[16] She was dubbed "Tomimoto" having made her name playing Tomimoto-bushi music on the shamisen.[14] Like the other two models, she has her hair up in the fashionable Shimada style that was popular at the time. Contrasted with the homelier teahouse-girl garments of the other two models, she is dressed in the showier geisha style.[17] The Tomimoto crest's Japanese primrose design adorns the sleeve of her kimono.[18] Toyohina's birthdate is unknown.[19]
