Takanawa in de winter 1862

"Takanawa in de winter" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, a prolific Japanese artist who was highly influential in the development of the ukiyo-e style. The print, created in 1862, showcases a portrait of a man in a blue and black kimono, framed by a small scenic view of the Takanawa district of Edo (present-day Tokyo) during winter. The man appears to be looking at the scene outside, with the snowy landscape and frozen sea adding a sense of tranquility and stillness to the composition. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
