Print 1800 - 1865

This woodblock print, created between 1800 and 1865 by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865), is a striking example of the *ukiyo-e* style, depicting a scene of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The print showcases Kunisada's mastery of detail and vibrant color, as the figure of a man in a patterned robe rests upon a lavishly decorated cushion. The background features a bamboo screen and delicate gold patterns, adding a touch of elegance to the composition. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to Kunisada's artistic talent and the enduring appeal of *ukiyo-e*.
