Onmayagashi in Edo

Utagawa Kuniyoshi

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a woodblock print with a gray-blue sky and dark clouds. Three people, two men and one woman, walk to the right in a line on a sandy shore. The man on the left holds a parasol over the woman, while she carries a basket on her back. The man in the center carries a basket on a pole over his shoulder, and the man on the right holds a parasol. All three people wear blue kimonos and are barefoot. A body of water with a few boats is behind them, and a cityscape is in the distance. A vertical orange banner with Japanese writing is in the top-right corner. The title "Onmayagashi in Edo" and the artist "Utagawa Kuniyoshi" are associated with the image.
