Entitled "Party on their way to view plum blossoms, c. 1764" it showcases a group of men, women, and children eagerly venturing into the countryside to witness the beauty of blooming plum trees.

Men donning traditional attire carry swords at their sides, reflecting the samurai culture prevalent during this era. The women are elegantly dressed, holding fans in hand as they gesture towards the breathtaking scenery ahead. Amidst an array of plum trees in full bloom, these individuals embark on a peaceful picnic surrounded by nature's splendor.
