Pleasure Quarters 1738 - 1806

"Pleasure Quarters" is a hanging scroll painting by the Japanese artist Suga Mitsusada, who lived from 1738 to 1806. The work depicts a young man, possibly a samurai, reclining on a low platform. The scroll is made of silk and ink, and it showcases Mitsusada's use of detail and refined brushwork. This is a classic example of the *ukiyo-e* genre, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
