Blindemannetje spelen 1826

"Blindemannetje spelen" (1826) by Nakamura Hōchū depicts a group of figures playing a game of blind man's buff. The central figure, blindfolded and wearing a white kimono with blue splotches, is the "blind man". The remaining figures appear to be taunting the blind man with playful gestures and expressions. This scene offers insight into the lighthearted and playful nature of daily life in 19th century Japan, and is a delightful example of the work of Nakamura Hōchū, a renowned artist specializing in humorous depictions of everyday activities.
