Jo en Uba 1826

"Jo en Uba" (1826) is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Nakamura Hōchū (1776-1819), known for his humorous and eccentric depictions of everyday life. The print depicts a scene of two figures, a man and a woman, sitting on the ground under a tree. The woman is holding a bottle, while the man is holding a small bowl. The print is a classic example of Hōchū's style, which is characterized by its use of vivid colors, exaggerated features, and humorous subject matter. The print is believed to be a representation of the Japanese proverb "Jo en Uba", which translates to "Old Woman's Happiness".
