Chikudō Picture Album 1815

"Chikudō Picture Album" is a woodblock print album created by Ki Chikudō in 1815. The album depicts a scene of a thatched-roof cottage with a figure seated inside. The use of subtle colors and detailed lines creates a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere, characteristic of Japanese ukiyo-e art. The album, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the tranquility of everyday life in 19th-century Japan.
