Fan, Bag and Incense-Tube 19th century

This 19th-century woodblock print, *Fan, Bag and Incense-Tube*, by Ryūryūkyo Shinsai (1799-1823) depicts a fan, a bag, and an incense tube, each with intricate detail and tied with elaborate cords. The fan is partially visible with a black and red design. The bag is made of white material and has intricate folds. The incense tube is intricately patterned and has a red and blue design. These everyday objects are rendered with a sense of elegance and beauty, characteristic of ukiyo-e prints. This piece is a testament to Shinsai's skill in capturing the subtle beauty of everyday life.
