Description
In this charming domestic scene Princess Yohime, daughter of the eleventh Shogun Tokugawa Ienari, is crouched down untying the sandal of her husband; he gazes down at her with tender regard. He sits half in and half out the entrance to a house with stepping stones leading to the doorway; the stones and the shoji screen beside him are carefully detailed. Behind him a sliding window is open, through which one can see a tree with falling petals.
