Comments - Attractive scene of the Meiji Empress and her ladies-in-waiting enjoying an outing to view the autumn color of the maple trees. The empress stands in the center, wearing a gray robe patterned with phoenixes over a white kimono tucked into red pants, the legs trailing beneath her feet. She holds a folding fan, and smiles as an attendant bows and offers her a black lacquer boxes. Autumn grasses and blossoms fill the background beneath a canopy of orange leaves. Nicely detailed with embossing in the white kimono trim and burnishing in the black kimono at left. Only the second time we've seen this lovely design.
