About this work

This print shows three women in flowing robes walking along a riverbank. Their clothes have soft, swirling patterns, and two hold fans. The water is drawn with quick, wavy lines, and cherry blossoms float in the background. The women’s robes are painted in muted tones, with one wearing a darker kimono that stands out against the light colors. The artist used delicate brushstrokes to show movement in their sleeves and skirts. Next, look up Suzuki Harunobu to see how he made prints like this.
