Description
A woman in a pale kimono stands at the bow of a covered riverboat, gazing up at bursts of fireworks exploding in white and gold against a dark blue-black sky. A gnarled pine branch frames the upper right, with a lantern-lit shore visible in the distance across the water, its lights reflected on the river's surface. Woodblock print, "Fireworks, Shubinomatsu," by Takahashi Shotei.
