Actors in a Cherry-blossom Viewing Procession, 1852

Comments - Terrific triptych depicting a procession of actors on an outing to view cherry blossoms. A young girl leads the way carrying a parcel wrapped in cloth, followed by a beauty escorted by attendants. One of the women shelters her with an umbrella, a scroll suspended above the beauty's head. A young nobleman rides on horseback, surrounded by retainers. A beautifully detailed design with white cherry blossoms framing the darkening sky. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
