Chrysanthemums fill the foreground here, and the two kimono-clad figures standing among them are shown with a sword, an object that signaled rank in Japanese society. The chrysanthemum has been the imperial emblem of Japan for centuries and is the flower of the autumn Chrysanthemum Festival, held on the ninth day of the ninth month. Setting a bloom of such formal weight beside a blade creates a quiet tension between grace and authority that is worth noticing.
