江戸風俗十二ケ月の内 三月 潮干狩の図（左の1枚）
Third Month: Shellfish Gathering at Low Tide, from Twelve Months of Edo Customs (Left Panel)
A small figure leans far forward, and a woman holding a green container bends down. The container comes down right next to the small figure's face.
About this print
A small figure in a purple and orange kimono leans far forward toward the tidal flat. To the right, a woman in a light blue kimono, wearing something like a white hood, bends down holding a green container. More people are scattered over the flat in the back, and beyond them a pale sea spreads out.
Two sheets continue to the right, and this is the left end of the three-sheet set; with all three side by side, the beach of shellfish gatherers joins into one. The same print also appears in the collection records on Art Platform Japan, run by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs, and copies survive at other institutions as well.
Look just to the right of the small figure's head at the lower left: the green container in the woman's arms has come down to exactly the same height. The face of the bent-over little figure is turned toward that container, too.
