Entertainment near the Cherry Blossoms — History & Facts
This folding screen depicts the world of entertainment in Japan, featuring a stage performance on the right and people dancing near cherry blossoms on the left. Below, an elderly man sits on a carpet, with a servant beside him. Seated next to him is a wakashu: an adolescent, but not yet mature, man involved in the world of entertainment.
In this transitional phase, he could form relationships with both men and women.
