About this print
A man with a mustache leans forward, both hands stretched toward a yellow animal. On the left, people have fallen in a heap, and on the right stand women in purple kimono. Overhead, cherry trees in full bloom and pines spread their branches, and in the back lie a green embankment, the river and a row of houses on the far bank.
The Sumida River embankment is also known as Bokutei. It has been famous for its cherry blossoms since the Edo period, and more cherry trees were planted along it after the Meiji era began.
On the clusters of cherry blossoms, tiny red dots are finely scattered over the pink. Similar red dots spill onto the yellow plate at the upper right, too.
