Subject: Bijin strolling on the banks of the Sumida River in the cool of the early evening, mingling with townsfolk and a host of travellers thronging the Ryogoku Bridge where a festival firework is exploding in the sky. Three festival barges and numerous small pleasure craft anchoring on the river. A delightful insight into the Edo 'Floating World' culture.
