The artwork is part of a larger hexaptych and showcases the artist's mastery of ink and color on paper. Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Sumida River, this print depicts women enjoying a leisurely day out on boats. Dressed in elegant kimonos, they can be seen gesturing and engaging in conversation while savoring tea from delicate teapots. One woman gracefully holds a tobacco pipe, adding to the relaxed ambiance of the gathering. The Ryogoku Bridge stands tall over the river, its structure providing both visual interest and an important connection between two sides of Edo (present-day Tokyo). This artwork not only highlights Japanese water transport during the Edo period but also offers insight into social customs and fashion trends prevalent at that time. Utamaro's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life with his skillful use of colors and intricate patterns found in traditional Japanese attire.

Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print serves as a testament to Utamaro's artistic legacy and provides viewers with a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the
