Women in a Pleasure Boat on the Sumida River

Chōbunsai Eishi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. Three women are on a boat. The woman on the right stands and holds a black parasol over the two seated women. The standing woman wears a kimono with a patterned obi. The two women sitting cross-legged on the boat wear kimonos and have their hair styled in traditional Japanese fashion. The boat floats on water with waves below. In the background, there is a shoreline with trees and a light sky with two birds flying. The print is colored with muted tones, including beige, pink, blue, and black. The artist's signature is written vertically on the right side of the print.
