江戸風俗十二ケ月之内 七月 筋違見附八辻（左の1枚）
Seventh Month: Yatsuji at Sujikai Gate, from Twelve Months of Edo Customs (Left Panel)
A large navy umbrella tilts as if caught by the wind, and two people huddle close beneath it. Far back across the wide ground, crowds of tiny figures stand in rows.
About this print
On the wide brown ground, a large navy umbrella leans sharply. Under it, a person in a patterned purple kimono and a person in a wisteria-colored kimono huddle together, while in the left foreground, a person in black wearing a woven hat walks alongside someone covered in what looks like a green raincoat (kappa). In the back are a long building with white walls and black windows, and dense, rounded trees.
Three sheets placed side by side make up one picture. This is the far-left sheet, which completes the set: right, center and left. The series shows the customs of Edo month by month, from the first month to the twelfth, in fine detail, and these three sheets make up its seventh month.
Shift your eye to just behind the waist of the person in the green raincoat at the left front: something long, thin and brown sticks out diagonally downward. Compared with the open navy umbrella to the right, it has the shape of a closed umbrella.
