This illustrated book, *Collection of Humorous Leftovers* (1882) by Kawanabe Kyōsai, is a prime example of *surimono*, a genre of Japanese woodblock print that often depicted humorous scenes. The book is a collection of Kyōsai's satirical drawings, which depict everyday life in Edo-era Japan with wit and charm. This particular page features three humorous scenes: a man smoking a pipe, a woman in a kimono and a man with a surprised expression. *Collection of Humorous Leftovers* is a testament to Kyōsai's talent for capturing the absurdity of daily life.
