The vibrant reds, yellows, and pinks harmonize the entire design. It captures a dynamic moment of spring and showcases Kunisada’s talent for portraying realistic details through keen observation of nature.

There is a small chiri (mulberry bark scraps) in the upper center.　Also, there is a slight trace of glue removal at the top of the backside.
