Comments - Terrific triptych of Yoshiwara courtesans enjoying a view of cherry blossoms from their verandah. Dressed in elegant kimono, the beauties relax with their small attendants on a richly patterned floral carpet. The courtyard below is crowded with visitors and beauties who stroll along the boulevard under the pink flowering trees. A lively, bustling scene with attractive color and a wealth of detail, including embossing on the white kimono collars and trim.
