Description
A samurai in dark armor with a checkered surcoat and sword stands beneath a gnarled, blossoming cherry tree, its trunk sweeping across the top of the composition against a pale pink-and-cream sky. Below him a seated attendant in blue tends a portable brazier and tea utensils on a woven mat, while a figure in a deep purple robe kneels alongside a red lacquer chest. Muted earth tones and soft pink blossoms dominate the palette, giving the scene a quiet, restrained mood. Woodblock print, "Tea Ceremony by Cherry Tree" by Ogata Gekko.
