This ukiyo-e woodblock print, "Ono no Tofu and the Frog," by Torii Kiyohiro, depicts a woman holding a parasol and a frog in a lush landscape with a willow tree. The print showcases Kiyohiro's talent for depicting detailed clothing and a subtle sense of movement in the woman's figure. The delicate lines and muted colors create a charming and serene atmosphere. Kiyohiro, a prominent artist of the mid-18th century, specialized in depicting beautiful women in everyday scenes. This print, created around 1758, is a testament to his refined aesthetic and mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which flourished during this period in Edo, Japan.
