The scene japanned on the black ground of the top shows Japanese women and three servants in a fenced enclosure having a table of food displayed on dishes. A moon hangs over a mountain at the left, while a large rock formation with a rugged pine is shown at the right. Six slim bamboo-shaped legs are painted red with gold rings. They are joined by a single stretcher placed low to the ground.ProvenanceFrom 1964
