Comments - Terrific triptych of the Meiji Emperor and Empress on an outing to Ueno Park to view the cherry blossoms. Attendants hold umbrellas over the Imperial couple as a beauty at right urges them forward to sit in a waiting armchair. The Empress and her ladies-in-waiting all wear colorful outer robes over white kimono tucked into red hakama pants. Dignitaries in top hats and tailcoats watch respectfully at left in front of the temple buildings. An interesting record of Meiji court life, with vibrant color and an attractive landscape setting.
