The print depicts three women in traditional Japanese clothing enjoying the cool evening air along the banks of the Sumida River. Kiyonaga’s works, particularly his bijin-ga (prints of beautiful women), were popular during the Tenmei era and are known for their elegant depiction of women and their leisure activities. This print offers a glimpse into the “floating world” or ukiyo culture of Edo-period Japan, showcasing aspects of daily life and leisure during that time. It is a diptych of woodblock prints, created using ink and color on paper.
