Description :
During the Tenmei era when the town of Edo reached the peak of prosperity, bijinga(prints of beautiful women) by the carefree master Torii Kiyonaga were popular items. This image is the left side of a diptych displaying women as they cool themselves on the banks of the Sumida River. This group of relaxed women, disproportionately tall, are posed against bright, open spaces. (Tadashi Kobayashi, “Edo Beauties in Ukiyo-e”, 1994)
