Caption: This woodblock print, titled "Cherry Blossom Viewing (Hanami)" is believed to have been created by the renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro II during the early 19th century. The artwork, now housed in the esteemed State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, captures a serene scene from Japan's Edo period.

They are gracefully seated on boats that gently glide across calm waters, surrounded by an enchanting landscape bursting with delicate pink blooms. The exquisite details and vivid colors showcased in this woodcut exemplify Utamaro II's mastery of ukiyo-e art - a popular artistic school during that era.
