Series; Inner Chiyoda Palace (Chiyoda no Ooku)
Watching a Festival - Wonderful triptych of young palace beauties watching a festival procession from a verandah screened with reed blinds. The ladies kneel around trays of fruit and sweets, chatting and gesturing at the drum topped with a giant rooster going past. Beautiful color and detail in this attractive woodblock, with fine embossing on the white kimono trim and rooster's feathers. Would make a lovely display.
