"Women Walking by a Moat" is a woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunchō, a prominent artist of the late Edo period in Japan. Created around the 1780s, the print showcases Shunchō's signature style, known for its vibrant colors and detailed depictions of everyday life. The scene depicts a group of women walking along a path beside a moat, their elegant kimonos and hairstyles highlighted against the backdrop of a stone wall. Shunchō's focus on the graceful movements and attire of the women reflects the cultural fascination with beauty and refinement during this era. This work is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life and the elegance of traditional Japanese fashion.
