On an early summer day, people wearing yukata are having a walk by the Ayase river at horikiri, in the katsushika ward of Tōkyō, for the annual iris flower garden view.
Iris appeared in Japan in the 19th century, when a farmer named Iza`emon began the first cultivation. A great variety of this flower bloomed by the end of the Edo era, so many gardens were created.
Few of the characters in the print are pairing their traditional clothes with western apparel and accessories: the man in the forground is wearing a western style hat while another one in the right is wearing a red shirt under his yukata.
Attires like these were quite common to be seen in the Meiji era, where commoners used to add one or more western accessories (hat, shoes, umbrella etc.) to thier traditional clothes
