Six-panel half-height screen (chu-byobu) depicting a group of elegantly dressed women enjoying a maple leaf viewing party. Gold clouds in gold leaf cover the upper 1/5 of the top of the composition, while the lower portion is dominated by a white curtain that creates the space of the party. In the right two panels, a group of male figures, one on horseback, has arrived and seems to be communicating with some of the female figures who emerge from behind the curtain.
