The Kinuta Jewel River in Settsu Province (六玉川之内 摂津檮衣 "Settsu Kinuta")

Two women are cleaning and thickening layers of cloth with heavy wooden mallets as they sit by the Kinuta River below a full moon silhouetting flying geese.

(The poem inscribed at the upper right is by Minamoto no Toshiyori (c. 1055 - 1129) and speaks of the sighs of the wind through the pine trees and the loneliness of autumn amplified by the sounds of beating cloth. The name of a river, "kinuta" also means "fulling block," which was associated with a kind of attractive sadness and a reminder of the passing of the seasons, as well as with the loneliness of a woman separated from, or abandoned by, a husband or lover. The repetitive sound of the beating of the cloth echoed the monotony of separation and thus a woman's melancholic emotional state).

By Hiroshige Utagawa, from the series Shokoku mu Tamagawa ("Six Jewel Rivers in the Provinces"), 1857
