Comments - Handsome portrait of a beauty standing beneath a blossoming cherry tree as petals drift down through the sky. She looks down with her back to the viewer, holding a gourd container hanging from a cord over her shoulder. Her blue outer kimono features a cherry blossom pattern, worn over a blue under robe with wavy black lines, tied with a red obi with circular motifs. The background is beautifully shaded from gray to rose pink to gray again. The first time we've seen this striking modern design.
