着物(きもの)を着た四姉妹が(よんしまいが)桜の(さくらの)下を(したお)歩く(あるく)京都での「お花見(おはなみ)」

The life of the Makioka family was exceptionally elegant. At the annual custom of 'cherry blossom viewing' (ohanami) in Kyoto, the sight of the four sisters dressed in beautiful kimonos strolling under the cherry blossoms is portrayed like a single beautiful painting. Also, their modern Western-style life in the Hanshin area, the pinnacle of a vanishing beautiful pre-war Japanese culture, is recorded with precision.
