Four women working very hard and carrying vats of water 

This ink drawing by Katsushika Hokusai, one of the most celebrated Japanese artists of the Edo period, depicts a scene of daily life in Japan. The work, featuring four women carrying vats of water on a yoke, captures the physical labor required of working women in the era. The piece exemplifies the artist's skill in depicting both the natural world and the human figure in a dynamic and expressive manner, characteristic of the ukiyo-e style.
