Description: This charming triptych depicts a summer party where eight women and one man enjoy the cool breeze by the Shijo Bridge. They dine on a platform built over the Kamo River (central Kyoto), a popular way to beat the heat. We can't help but notice the woman on the right sheet launching a floating firework on the water. The man sits right in the center of the composition, surrounded by the women who interact naturally. The design showcases Kiyonaga's mastery in depicting tall, elegant women, intricate details, and complex compositions.

A post-war reproduction by the Adachi Company.

This item is in good condition except for slight spots on the left sheet.
