About this print
A woman in a blue kimono, her hair done up, walks at the foot of the green embankment. On top of it, about two trees in pink blossom spread wide, and below, a small bridge of wooden planks crosses the water. To its right, a figure in dark clothes crouches low, and beside them stand some thin shapes that may be grass or a fence. At the right edge of the picture, a band like a red cloud hangs between the blossoming trees and the embankment.
The embankment of the Sumida River is also called Bokutei, and it has been famous for cherry blossoms since the Edo period. More cherry trees were planted after the Meiji era began, with 1,000 added in 1874. It is still known today as a place to see cherry blossoms.
