Three water carriers on a shore, one bending over to pick up a bucket, two sitting with buckets. The man bending over wears a green shirt and red pants. The two sitting to the right wear orange and black kimonos. They are on a gray sandy beach with a body of water to the left. The sun sets in the background, a red half-circle on the left. Trees line the right side in the background. The image has a faded color palette and appears to be an older print. The image is titled "Three Water Carriers at the Shore" and was created by Katsukawa Shunkō.
