"Washing the Book" is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by the artist Isoda Koryūsai. Created between 1770 and 1790, this piece depicts a scene of two women in traditional Japanese attire, with a small child washing a book in the foreground. The intricate details and vibrant colors are characteristic of Koryūsai's style, known for his depictions of daily life and popular culture in Edo-period Japan. The artwork currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
