Tametomo's Engagement to Princess Shiranui.

By Toyokuni III/Kunisada.

Fantastic triptych illustrating girls pelting Minamoto no Tametomo with cherry branches after the announcement of his engagement to Princess Shiranui, the daughter of Aso Tadakuni of Higo. He frowns with dismay, batting a branch away with his fan as the women jostle each other, a shower of delicate petals drifting down over the floor of the verandah. At right, the lovely princess watches from a doorway, smiling shyly at the amusing site. She is elegantly dressed in a flowing floral kimono over a rose colored robe. Three of the other women are dressed more informally, their sleeves tied back with sashes and hair kept out of the way with white head bands.
