The Chofu Jewel River in Musashi Province, circa 1835 - Lovely design of a beauty washing laundry in the Chofu Jewel River in Musashi Province. She stands on a rock in the swiftly moving river, lifting her robes up to keep them from getting wet. A wooden tub on the shore holds laundry, and a graceful willow trees frames the scene overhead. Rich color and a fine sense of movement in this attractive design. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
