Spring, 1856 - Charming scene of beauties visiting a shrine in spring to view the blossoming cherry trees. In the center, a rather tipsy woman stumbles to the side, laughing and holding a sake cup in her outstretched hand. Her companions are amused by her antics, smiling as they watch her. At right, one beauty carries a shamisen over her shoulder while another holds a small covered wooden pail, a pipe in hand. The edge of a torii gate can be seen at left, with women helping a young girl down the stairs behind. An attractive design with a finely detailed setting.
