- Japanese Beauties Enjoy a Full MoonBy Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)Located in Burbank, CA"Sun, Moon and Stars". Three beauties enjoy a full moon on the veranda of a teahouse or restuarant.

The seated woman on the right is perhaps a geisha, as we see a shamisen lying next to her. Before her is a tray with an assortment of foods. One may surmise that the beauties are being compared to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On the left we glimpse a full moon shining over the peaceful bay, and boats at harbor.
