	Notes (first edition)?:	For some reason Kawano titled this scene with two different (but related) titles: Stirring of Spring, and Night Perfume. Both titles represent the plum and cherry blossom season in March. Night Perfume is also the title of another Kawano print (in landscape format), so I'm assuming he swapped the titles by mistake, i.e., the scene pictured here should not be titled Night Perfume.
