Fishing for Carp on the Tone River - Charming scene of beauties enjoying a boat ride on the Tone River. One woman stands in the front of the craft, holding the oar as she watches the opposite shore. A younger beauty pops her head up through the partially unrolled straw mat that serves as a roof, smiling as she looks out. In the back of the boat, a man leans over, pulling up a basket dripping with water from the river. Carp fishermen can be seen at work behind them, wading waist-deep in the water or pulling in a net from a boat. Soft shading and muted tones add a dream-like quality to this serene image of daily life. An attractive design, detailed with metallic pigment that has oxidized to a dark tone on the white kimono.
