Comment - The ladies of the court of
Chiyoda palace are enjoying the cherry blossoms viewing party,
held every March. A bucolic scene with two large blossoming
cherry trees, a small river or lake in the background, and
Mount Fuji in the far distance. An Edo-kite ("Edo-tako",
"江戸凧") is flying high above, carrying a small pack of sweets
at the bridle point of the kite line. The small pack is torn
off, and the sweets a falling down onto a lare carpet. A lot
of ladies trying to catch the falling sweets.
