Comments - Attractive design of a young samurai standing outside a garden gate, looking over the fence with an expression of interest. A small boy with a shaved head kneels beside him, watching the two beauties inside the garden at left. One holds her sleeve to her chin to hide her amusement as she watches the samurai. Pine trees frame the scene, and the hillside in the distance is dotted with blossoming cherry trees. A nicely detailed Edo era subject.
