Women Enjoying the Evening Cool Near Ryogoku Bridge

Discussion

FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

People crowding the Ryōgoku Bridge over the Sumida River and those aboard party boats below enjoy summer fireworks. Among a group gathered on the riverbank a little boy stands holding his caged pet cricket in one hand, and a young woman’s hand in the other. At left, a boy with a lantern advertising the name of the restaurant for which he works, “Ōnoshi,” guides two women away.
