Sanshu, Snow at Okazaki, Disposing of Lady Tsukiyama, No. 44 - Lady Tsukiyama was married to Tokugawa Ieyasu to form a political alliance between their families.

The inset above shows Ieyasu on horseback next to the hollyhock banner of the Tokugawa Clan. Beautifully detailed with burnishing in the black obi fabric and wooden geta sandals, and embossing in the white kimono trim.
