About this work
A young poet with a fan in his hand sits on a red carpet. Behind him a kettle and a picnic set of gold lacquerware. With three poems. Right panel of a five-panel screen, on which standing or sitting figures are depicted, under cherry blossoms and against a curtain with along the bottom, the emblem of the Nogawa poets' society. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, people still picnic under the trees in Japan today. This is often accompanied by music and drink.
