Flower Cart - Beautiful scene of young women admiring a flower cart holding an elaborate arrangement of peonies, chrysanthemums, maple leaves, and a blossoming cherry branch. One beauty kneels beside the cart, adjusting a sash of red fabric draped around the woven container. The woman at right holds a young child, who reaches eagerly toward the colorful display. A charming design with wonderful color and intricate detail in the sumptuous kimono fabrics. Nicely detailed with embossing in the white kimono trim and burnishing in the black robe and cart wheels.
