In "Three Women and a Small Boy beneath a Wisteria Arbor on the Bank of a Stream, " we are transported to a serene setting where nature intertwines with human presence. The delicate wisteria blooms cascade over the arbor, providing shade for three women and a young boy as they enjoy their time by the stream.

The vivid peony flowers take center stage as visitors admire their beauty during this seasonal event. Kiyonaga's attention to detail is evident in every petal and leaf, creating an atmosphere that immerses us in this captivating display. In "Sumida River Holiday, " Kiyonaga captures the lively atmosphere along one of Tokyo's iconic rivers. People gather on boats or stroll along its banks, enjoying leisurely moments amidst bustling city life.

"Young Ladies Viewing Cherry-blossoms at Asukayama" invites us into the world of hanami (flower viewing).
