Comments - Handsome scene of the Meiji Emperor and Empress leaving the palace. The Imperial carriage awaits them at left, elegantly decorated with the chrysanthemum symbol of the Meiji throne. Soldiers stand at attention in the courtyard under blossoming cherry trees, and identically dressed ladies-in-waiting bow respectfully on the verandah at right. Nicely detailed with delicate embossing in the white kimono fabric.
