"Insect Catcher and Potted Herbs" is a 19th-century woodblock print by the Japanese artist Ryūryūkyo Shinsai (1799-1823). The print depicts a traditional Japanese insect catcher, a dome-shaped structure with a small bird perched on a branch, and a basket of potted herbs. This image is likely a surimono, a type of Japanese print often commissioned by wealthy patrons and featuring elegant and refined imagery. The print is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
