Twenty-four Japanese examples of filial piety for the Honchôren c. 1821

This woodblock print, created by Yashima Gakutei in 1821, is part of a series of 24 illustrations depicting examples of filial piety in Japanese history. Titled "Twenty-four Japanese examples of filial piety for the Honchôren", the print features two figures, a man and a woman, sitting in a room with a paper screen and a traditional Japanese garden view outside the window. The woman is intently reading a scroll, while the man sits with his hands clasped, perhaps in contemplation or respect. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the artistic style of ukiyo-e, known for its colorful depictions of daily life and popular culture in Edo period Japan.
