Print 1786 - 1854

This woodblock print, created by Utagawa Kunisada between 1786 and 1854, depicts a woman in traditional Japanese clothing amidst a stormy sea. The image, showcasing the artist's signature vibrant colors and detailed patterns, is a classic example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art focusing on everyday life and popular culture. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Kunisada's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the beauty and drama of the Japanese landscape.
