Japanese 6-panel screen of leisure life

High-ranking dignitaries are typically depicted picnicking in a private setting, sometimes even watching geisha performances. A large banner gracefully encircles the figures; notably, the family *mon* (crest) displayed on the banner clearly indicates their lineage. Such scenes of leisure and relaxation are common in Japan, often reflecting a harmony with nature and the changing seasons.
Edo period (1603–1868), early 19th century.
