A scene of cherry blossom viewing at Gotenyama (Palace Hill) in the city of Edo (now Tokyo), features five adults and a child at the top of the hill. At the center of the action, a courtesan lights her pipe from that of a fashionably dressed young man of samurai status, and smoke billows up to the sky.
