The First Time on a Boat on a Miniature Lake (Sensui fune johatsu). Delightful scene of a group of beauties enjoying themselves on a small lake at a park. Two young ladies are poling the boat, and a young boy seems to be feeding crackers to the koi that can be seen lower right. We see a small pile of the crackers on the leftmost sheet. The group also has the makings of a picnic, stored in a luxurious lacquer case. One young lady seems to be an attendant of the young boy and holds his sword. In the background we see another group of women playing blind-man’s bluff on a grassy slope.
