From the Art Institute of Chicago record

In this distinctive design, we see an inlet through part of a round window. This elegant room is likely a famous restaurant with a stunning view of the Sumida River. The plum blossoms outside point to a date in early spring. The solid-colored wall frames the jewellike landscape beyond.
