Outdoor Pastimes, Edo-period Japanese painting

A horizontal scroll-style painting on pale ground shows small figures in kimono and wide-brimmed hats gathered under flowering trees and across a green pine-covered hillside. Two figures stand at left near a blossoming branch, while a group in red and green robes sits and strolls at center, and a building with a screen and seated figure appears at upper left. Ink, color and gold on paper.
