The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a nighttime scene of a Japanese cityscape. A bridge with a reddish-pink railing spans a body of water that curves through the scene. On the bridge, three women stand under parasols. The woman on the left wears a green kimono and holds a parasol with a pink and white design. The woman in the middle wears a blue kimono and holds a parasol with a black design on a white background. The woman on the right wears a dark-colored kimono and holds a parasol with a black and white design. A red vertical banner with Japanese characters is on the right. In the background, buildings with triangular roofs line the water. A mountain range is under a starry night sky. Snowflakes fall throughout the scene.
