Cherry Blossom Viewing at Asukayama, 1843 - 1845 - Lovely Hiroshige triptych of beauties enjoying a picnic to view the cherry blossoms at Asukayama. A smiling woman plays the shamisen as two others play a hand game called ken. A kettle, porcelain cups, bento boxes, and a tobacco set are scattered about the mat spread under a tall pine tree. Visitors stroll about the park-like setting under the trees covered with pale pink blossoms, and Mt. Fuji rises in the distance in the center. Wonderful detail in the picnic accessories and a beautiful landscape view. A terrific image of a favorite spring pastime in Japan.
