Visual Parody of the Calligrapher Ono no Tōfū (later edition) after 1765

This woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a prominent artist of the mid-18th century, is a visual parody of the renowned calligrapher Ono no Tōfū. The artwork depicts a woman holding an umbrella, standing near a stream with a weeping willow overhead, and is a humorous take on the calligrapher's famous work. The delicate lines and soft colors of the print are characteristic of Harunobu's style and contribute to the work's playful tone. "Visual Parody of the Calligrapher Ono no Tōfū (later edition)" is a great example of ukiyo-e, the genre of Japanese woodblock prints that flourished in the Edo period, and is held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
