Scene on the Veranda of a Teahouse 18th - 19th century

"Scene on the Veranda of a Teahouse" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Yanagawa Shigenobu (1787-1832). Created in the 18th or 19th century, the print depicts two figures on the veranda of a teahouse. One figure, likely a geisha, is shown in a colorful kimono, while the other figure stands in a striped kimono. The print showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints that often depicted everyday life and scenes from popular culture. This small print (8 9/16 x 7 5/16 in.) is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
