Comments - Attractive scene of beauties in the upper room of a teahouse, the woman at right playing a kokyo, an instrument similar to a shamisen but played upright with a bow. She wears a matching blue outer robe and kimono bordered with colorful chrysanthemums and trimmed with red tie-dyed collars. The room looks out over blossoming cherry trees and other teahouses, with a bridge leading to an island in the harbor and the Japanese flag flying in the distance. A charming subject, nicely detailed with embossing in the white kimono collars.
