Women and Children Walking Along the Sumida River

Katsushika Hokusai

Cleveland Museum of Art

Woodblock print on beige paper. Three people and a small child walk on a path along a body of water. Two adult women wear traditional kimonos with under kimono visible, one in shades of grey and peach, and one in dark and light orange. The woman on the left has a parasol and fan; an umbrella-like hat shades her face. The woman on the right wears a headscarf; one sleeve of her kimono is dark, one light orange; she holds a small purse. A smaller child between them holds a bird; the child wears a light orange kimono. A small child on the right carries a large flat oval object and sprigs of greenery. Distant buildings are on the right; a line of dark green trees meets a gray sky at the center. Water fills the space between trees and people.
