De vier seizoenen van de hoofdstad Possibly 1907

"De vier seizoenen van de hoofdstad" (The Four Seasons of the Capital) is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Shimomura Tamahiro around 1907. The artwork depicts five figures, all wearing traditional Japanese clothing, carrying various objects like a long log, a basket and a tool. The print is a fine example of the ukiyo-e style, characterized by its bold colours and stylized figures. The intricate patterns and symbolic imagery suggest a narrative surrounding the four seasons of the year, with the figures' actions likely related to the different seasons. The artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan.
