Series; Inner Chiyoda Palace (Chiyoda no Ooku)
Moon Viewing Party - Lovely triptych of the ladies of Chiyoda Palace preparing for an autumn moon viewing party. The full moon is visible in the sky at left as beauties carry a flower arrangement and offering trays piled with fruit and sweets out to the garden. 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.
