Moon Viewing Party - Attractive scene of the ladies of Chiyoda Palace preparing for an autumn moon viewing party. The beauties carry offering trays piled with fruit and sweets out to the garden, including rice cakes shaped like rabbits. Delicate grasses and plants appear in soft gray silhouette in the background, providing a subtle backdrop for the sumptuous fabrics worn by the beauties. Beautifully colored with fine detail, including delicate embossing on the white kimono trim and burnishing in the hair. A wonderful design.
