Comments - Attractive scene of beauties enjoying a variety of pastimes. At right, a woman practices the art of ikebana as she creates a flower arrangement. The woman seated below tunes her shamisen, while the beauty at left plays the koto. She chats with a matron holding a poem slip. The room opens onto a lovely garden view, with a narrow bridge leading across a pond and blossoming plum trees dotting the land. A rosy pink glow spreads along the horizon as the sun sets. Nicely colored and detailed, with burnishing in the black kimono, and embossing in the white kimono collars and trim.
