Tijger: de helling bij Kagura c. 1827

"Tijger: de helling bij Kagura" is a woodblock print created by Yashima Gakutei in c. 1827. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene of two figures: a woman in elaborate clothing, possibly a courtesan, and a man, perhaps her attendant, standing near a gate. The print's vivid colors and meticulous detail, characteristic of the ukiyo-e style, offer a glimpse into the social life and fashion of Edo-era Japan. The image is framed by a border of cherry blossoms, adding to the overall sense of beauty and elegance.
