Kakegawa: A Country Girl, 1854 - Attractive scene from the collaborative series "Tokaido by Two Brushes" featuring figures by Toyokuni III and landscapes by Hiroshige. In the foreground, a country beauty walks along carrying a large kettle as a young boy tags along beside her, smiling and gesturing. The sleeves of her kimono are tied back with a red sash and the hem is pulled up as well, a straw hat hanging at her back and a cloth protectively wrapped about her hair. Above, two travelers make their way across a log bridge topped with turf. A torii gate can be seen at left, and workers are busy in the rice fields beyond. A charming design, attractively detailed and shaded.
