Banquet of the Next Full Moon at the Chrysanthemum Festival, from the

A three-panel woodblock print shows elegantly dressed women in patterned kimono seated on a veranda at a chrysanthemum-season banquet. Red maple leaves hang above, a folding screen and blue-green patterned panels fill the background, and a child and a man in dark robes sit at the right.

Look closer: A small figure, possibly a child, is tucked at the lower left beside the seated women.
