A stylish young samurai is seated upon an elaborately bedecked mount. Above his head bloom cherry blossoms, and through a window two girls peek at him admiringly. The poem reads: “To the breeze of love the cherry blossoms fall, beside the viewing-window.” He is immaculately dressed and even his horse is trimmed up for the occasion. It is thought that the model for the splendid young man was Sanogawa Ichimatsu, a popular Kabuki actor who often served as a subject of Masanobu’s prints.
