Fuchi with Monkeys and Blossoming Cherry Tree Branch
(Japanese Military Armor)
Three monkeys are shown hauling a cherry tree branch with a rope. Two monkeys are on the front and one is depicted on the reverse. The monkey closest to the branch has another branch in his hand that he is probably waving like a fan to encourage the other two. This is part of a set with Walters 51.949.
