Description:
Three court ladies are playing the Japanese traditional music instruments; koto (middle), shamisen (left) and kokyu (right: It looks like shamisen but is played with a bow). A thin strip of cloud crosses the full moon, which is blightly illuminating the serene scene below. In the background, a pagoda and a tea house among the stylized pine trees are seen.
