Buddha Festival - Wonderful depiction of the ladies of Chiyoda Palace celebrating the birth of Buddha. At right, one of the beauties kneels before an altar with a small statue of Buddha pointing toward heaven, her hands clasped in prayer, while others watch the activities in the garden from a spacious verandah. A beautifully detailed print with touches of embossing in the white kimono trim, burnishing on the black finials on the verandah posts, and soft shading in the background.
