Comments - Terrific scene depicting a procession of beauties on an outing to view cherry blossoms. In the center, one woman takes a beauty by the hand while another holds an umbrella over her, a scroll suspended above the beauty's head. Two women lead the way carrying trunks over their shoulders, followed by a beauty carrying a standard protectively wrapped in fabric. Three women armed with samurai swords bring up the rear of the procession, next to a young girl carrying an elegant lacquer box draped with cloth. The blue sky is framed with pink and white cherry blossoms. A beautiful scene with faint embossing on the white kimono trim.
