Description :
A young woman on a back of the Sumidagawa is walking toward the right. She holds a large umbrella across her left shoulder and is lifting her skirts. Behind her is a large willow tree and beside it small kobai trees with bright red blossoms, all heavily snow laden. To protect her hair and robes from the snow the geisha wears high, lacquered clogs (geta) lifts the hems of her skirts with her right hand, and holds an opened oiled-paper “snake-eye” umbrella (janome) in her left hand.
