Hoofdstuk 44 1851 - 1853

"Hoofdstuk 44" (Chapter 44), a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, depicts two figures in a traditional Japanese interior. The woman on the left, wearing a vibrant purple and white kimono, appears to be leaving the room, while the seated woman on the right, adorned in a blue and red patterned kimono, holds a fan. This evocative scene, created in 1851-1853, offers a glimpse into the daily life and attire of Edo-period Japan. The intricate details of the room, including the patterned floor and sliding doors, contribute to the overall visual richness of the work.
