This ukiyo-e print, "Haas die een nieuwjaarswens voor het jaar van de Haas (1819) calligrafeert" by Utagawa Toyokuni I, depicts a rabbit in a red kimono sitting on a tatami mat. The rabbit is in the process of calligraphing a new year's wish for the year of the rabbit. The scene is set in a room with a window overlooking the moon and reeds. The print is a whimsical representation of the Japanese zodiac animal, and it is a beautiful example of the artistry of Utagawa Toyokuni I, one of the most celebrated ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period.
