From an untitled triptych series of the Six Jewel Rivers
The Bush Clover Jewel River in Omi Province, 1847 - 1848 - Lovely triptych depicting three women by the Bush Clover or Noji Jewel River. The beauty in the center bends down to pull some blossoms from the tangled mass of bush clover growing along the edge of the narrow, meandering river. She smiles aback at her companion, who carries a softly glowing lantern and a small wicker insect or bird cage. Her kimono is shaded from blue-gray to green, patterned with waterwheels and blossoms and tied with a red brocade obi. A beautiful design with soft shading in the gray twilight sky.
