Watching a Street Musician - Charming, extra-large format scene of beauties and children watching a street musician simultaneously playing a flute and tapping a small drum at his waist, a shamisen tucked against his side. He has a mask of Okame, the goddess of mirth, atop his head. The children at lower right smile with delight as the performer hops on one foot. Peonies and chrysanthemums surround the group, and a bridge over a moat leading to a castle can be seen in the distance, the sky framed with blossoming cherry branches.
