Leftmost Print from Pleasure Boats on the Sumida River beneath Shin-Ōhashi Bridge

Chōbunsai Eishi

Cleveland Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicts a river scene. A large boat with a covered section in the center is in the foreground. Two women in long pink kimonos and black hair ornaments stand on the left side of the boat; they hold fans. The woman on the right holds a pipe-like object to her lips. A man in a green kimono sits under the covered section, holding a hat. A kneeling woman in a white kimono faces the man. The boat has a flat bottom and vertical sides. The background shows a river with several boats and a bridge on the right. The opposite bank features buildings and green trees. A city skyline appears farther back on the left. The color palette includes pink, green, white, and black on a beige background. The image appears somewhat aged.
