Night Cherry Blossom Viewing in the Garden - Moonlight illuminates the beautiful cherry blossoms on a lovely spring evening at the Chiyoda Inner Palace. The woman in the center panel carries a bamboo lantern, casting a soft glow over the falling blossoms. A light breeze causes the petals to fall to the ground, highlighting the transience of life. Beautifully printed with delicate embossing in the white kimono collar. A wonderful Chikanobu cherry blossom viewing scene, considered one of the best in the series.
