Roshungi (Chinese, Lu Zhunyi) as a Woman with a Pipe Riding on a Buffalo 1797 - 1861

This woodblock print, created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi in the 19th century, depicts a humorous scene of a woman riding a buffalo. Kuniyoshi was a renowned artist of the ukiyo-e style, known for his dynamic compositions and often satirical subject matter. This print, titled "Roshungi (Chinese, Lu Zhunyi) as a Woman with a Pipe Riding on a Buffalo," showcases Kuniyoshi's characteristic use of vibrant colors and bold lines to capture the exaggerated movement of the figures and the buffalo. The woman's relaxed pose and the buffalo's playful expression create a sense of lightheartedness, making this a classic example of Kuniyoshi's ukiyo-e style.
