Exhibit caption: The small landscape depicted celebrates Mukojima situated on the east bank of the Sumida River. This is still a famous destination for viewing the cherry blossom trees that were first planted there by Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune (1684-1751). The fashionable young girl in the foreground is holding what is likely an emperor doll associated with the March 3rd Hinamatsuri or Girls Day festival. Kunikazu was a student of Utagawa Kunimasa and the oldest of three artist brothers. Prints of this type, called kuchi-e or 'mouth pictures,' were made as frontispiece illustrations for novels and literary journals. They were especially popular during the Meiji era (1868-1912) phenomenon.
