Butterfly and Gourd 

"Butterfly and Gourd" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Keisai Eisen, a prominent artist of the Edo period (1603-1868). The work showcases Eisen's mastery of depicting delicate details with fine lines and subtle colors, highlighting the intricate beauty of the gourd vine, its blossoms, and the elegant butterfly. This design is typical of the *ukiyo-e* ("pictures of the floating world") style that flourished in Japan during this era, capturing fleeting moments of natural beauty in a minimalist and evocative manner.
