Series; Views of Both Banks of the Sumida River

Spring Dawn in the Provinces of Awa, Shimosa, and Kazusa - Lovely view of a ferry loaded with passengers starting out across the Sumida River. Several beauties sit on benches in the center of the boat while men stand in the front as two boatmen pole the craft along the gently undulating surface. Other ferries can be seen in the distance along with boats going out fishing for the first time in the New Year. An attractive design, beautifully detailed. Published by Takamizawa, circa 1950s.
