Sourced Overview Evidence
Two young women cool themselves by a river as a willow blows in the breeze. One crouches down to rinse a hand towel, while the other sits with her chin balanced on her fan. Beside her is a black lacquer tray with a floral design in gold, holding her tobacco kit. <br><br>Tsukioka Tessai was an Osaka-based ukiyo-e artist who was especially respected for his representations of beautiful women (<em>bijin</em>). The court bestowed upon him the rank Bridge of the Law (<em>hokyo</em>) in 1778, and he was eventually elevated in rank to Eye of the Law (<em>hogen</em>).
