Sumiyoshi Hirosada (19th CE)
Court amusements in spring and autumn, a pair of Japanese hanging scroll paintings, Edo period, mid-19th century AD. In the spring scroll an ornate pleasure-boat with a dragon prow and an elaborate awning carries a group of court women beneath the cherry trees. Two maid-servants are punting, while behind them sit two women in elaborate court dress. One costume is decorated with cherry flowers. As they admire the blossoms, one woman uses her fan, while another shields her eyes with her hand. In the background a willow tree is just coming into leaf, and yellow flowers, possibly Japanese yamabuki (kerria), bloom on the river bank. H: 974mm, W: 362mm.  reg. no: AC 1881,1210,0.217(&Others).
