Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print of four people on a ferry boat on a river. In the foreground, a kneeling woman wearing a gray head covering, red shirt, and gray pants is on the left. A woman crouching down in front of her, wearing a plaid kimono and a head covering. A woman standing in the center wearing a pink kimono with a black obi and a large straw hat, points to something. A man on the right wears a black kimono with a pink obi. The background features a body of water with a shoreline and trees on the left; a mountain is visible in the distance. The color palette includes shades of pink, black, gray, and brown on a beige background.
