Refreshments for a Theatre Outing c. 1823

"Refreshments for a Theatre Outing" is a woodblock print by Totoya Hokkei, a prominent artist of the early 19th century. This ukiyo-e artwork, which depicts a bowl of oranges, a pipe, and a box of snacks, captures the simple pleasures of a theater outing in Edo-period Japan. The composition is flat and decorative, typical of Hokkei's later work. The vibrant colors and meticulous detail make the print a delightful example of Japanese artistic craftsmanship.
