"Ishibe" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni II. Dating back to possibly 1855–1858, the print depicts a scene of a man and a woman. The woman is dressed in a colorful kimono, while the man sits on a cushion, holding a pipe. The background features a landscape with a river, mountains, and houses, showcasing Kunisada's skillful depiction of nature. This vibrant woodblock print exemplifies the artistry of ukiyo-e, a popular genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period. The print's intricate details and expressive figures capture the essence of everyday life and convey the artist's keen observation of human emotions. The print, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Utagawa Kunisada.
