Two Women in a Storm

Suzuki Harunobu

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The two young women in Harunobu's print are on their way to a bathhouse in the rain. The woman in front carries a bathrobe and a towel, an important clue about where they are going. Harunobu often enhances the narrative quality of his work with such a humorous touch.
