Description: This print, the right sheet of a triptych, depicts a serene domestic scene of women engaged in everyday activities, highlighting summer customs in Edo-era Japan. One woman stands on a veranda overlooking the garden, another sits in front of a mirror stand tying her hair, and a third woman relaxes on the veranda with a fan in her hand, enjoying the cool summer breeze.

The scene is enriched with seasonal details, such as cattails in a water basin, potted morning glories, and a paulownia tree in the garden, all of which evoke a vivid summer atmosphere. The composition is a fine example of Kiyonaga’s talent for capturing the graceful poses and subtle expressions of women, reflecting the customs and moods of the Edo period.

This version is a reproduction published by Kokko-sha in c.1924.

This print has toning and a few stains. Also, there are traces of stickers peeling off and stains on the back.
