Description
A pleasure boat named Kawaichimaru is filled with entertainers in this expansive scene. At the vessel’s right end, a young dancer waits as her costume’s hat is arranged. In the middle, a trio of musicians performs, two on drums and another on shamisen, a three-stringed instrument. Listening to them is an elegant woman smoking her pipe. At the left end, three women, one on a neighboring boat, enjoy a spectacular floral arrangement of pine, lily, and iris on a lacquer stand.
