Boating Party on the Sumida River

Torii Kiyonaga

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woodblock print depicts a group of people on a boat on a river. The boat has a low railing with rectangular and square holes. Eight people wearing kimonos sit on the boat; most of the kimonos have circular designs on them. A man and woman sit at the front of the boat; the woman faces the right and sits on a low bench with her left arm raised. Two men and a woman sit on the boat's deck in the background. The background shows another boat on the river and a bridge on the riverbank. The color scheme is sepia with black outlines.
