Series; Women's Activities of the Tokugawa Era
Viewing Plum Blossoms, 1891 - Charming scene of upper-class beauties viewing the first plum blossoms of spring, the ground still covered with snow. The woman in the center carries a small twig broom to brush away the snow from their path. She turns her head away and raises her sleeve protectively as a few clumps of snow slide from the branch overhead. Beautiful color and detail in the elegant kimono fabrics, with embossing on the white kimono trim. A lovely triptych.
