content: Hiroshige captures a summer scene of families gathering shellfish along the shore. The sweltering heat has caused a woman to pause and wipe the sweat above her brow even as she is knee-deep in water. Around her are men and children bent over rigorously harvesting. A man just in front of her, however, seems to be causing trouble for another woman who is looking back as she goes deeper into the water. A tall mast from an unveiled ship frames this summer working day.
