Cherry Blossom Viewing in Tokyo

Comments - Charming scene of people enjoying a spring afternoon viewing the cherry blossoms alongside the river. A waitress serves tea to patrons at a tea stall at right, while in the center, a pair of men performs silly dances to the amusement of passersby. A policeman watches them, dressed in a black uniform with brass buttons and carrying a baton. At lower left, a foreign couple strolls past as a dog plays about their feet. Lively color and interesting detail in this attractive spring view.
