隅田川
Sumida River
Three flags of different colors hang from a rope stretched at a slant. On the far bank, a tree in pink blossom spreads its branches, and the bow of a black boat pokes into the river in front.
About this print
On the far bank stand a tree with pink flowers, a white building with a red roof, and green shrubs. The lower half is river, and at the lower left, the bow of a black boat juts in large, with one person in white aboard. From the boat, a long pole or rope reaches up toward the upper right. Above is a pale blue sky.
The embankment along the Sumida River, also called "Bokutei," has been famous for its cherry blossoms since the Edo period. More cherry trees were added in the Meiji era, and in 1874, 1,000 of them were planted.
Follow the rope at the upper left, and three flags hang in a row. The top one is blue, the next is red and white, and the one below that has a white pattern on a blue ground. The rope runs down at a slant from the upper left corner toward the buildings on the far bank.
