This is a terrific opportunity for a collector interested in only the highest quality prints.
Comments - Lovely triptych of a group of beauties enjoying an outing to Asakusa Park on a fine spring day. They pause while crossing a covered walkway to watch the koi fish swimming in the water below, an attendant holding a fringed umbrella over an upper-class young lady. The incredible, Western-style octagonal Asakusa Ryounkaku Tower rises in the background, with people crowding the balconies at the top for a panoramic view of the gardens below. A beautifully drawn image with delicate detail and soft color, framed by blossoming cherry trees. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
