Comments - Charming scene of upper-class ladies enjoying a picnic under a blossoming cherry tree. Elegant lacquer bento boxes hold snacks, and graduated sake cups are stacked on a tray. A beauty holds up a young girl who ties a poem slip to a branch of the flowering tree, a few pink petals drifting down through the sky. Nicely detailed with burnishing in the hair and embossing in the white kimono trim.
