A Japanese hanging scroll, known as a kakejiku, depicting a serene scene featuring two women under a blooming cherry tree. The artwork is painted on silk and framed within a bamboo-style frame, measuring 22 1/2 inches high by 54 1/2 inches wide, with an image dimension of 40 inches high by 16 1/2 inches wide. The women, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, possibly geishas or courtesans, are shown enjoying the cherry blossoms, a motif known in Japanese art as sakura, symbolizing the arrival of spring. Framed under glass, the scroll can be shipped unframed to reduce shipping costs. Such pieces often evoke themes from the Edo period and sometimes form part of a triptych or a pair of scrolls.
