Women in a Pleasure Boat on the Sumida River

Chōbunsai Eishi

Cleveland Museum of Art

A three-panel artwork depicts a boat on water with 10 people on board. The boat has a black bottom with white and pink accents on the bow. A woman in a pink kimono with a black obi stands on the bow on the left. The people on the boat are dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos and appear to be engaged in conversation. The background features a body of water with trees and a small island visible on the horizon. The people on the boat are arranged in a semi-circle around a low table with a green stool. The woman on the right side of the boat also has her hand raised to her head. The artwork uses muted colors with a beige background.
