Comments - Attractive image of courtesans in a teahouse playing music. One woman plucks a koto while another strums a biwa or Japanese lute, and a third beauty plays a small xylophone called a mokkin. The room is elegantly decorated with a patterned carpet, looking out onto a garden with blossoming cherry trees. A charming spring scene.
