"Tekstblad van Negai no itoguchi," a work by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, is a striking example of *ukiyo-e* (pictures of the floating world) prints. Created in 1799, the piece features a page of text written in a cursive script, showcasing Utamaro's mastery of capturing the essence of fleeting moments and the beauty of everyday life. The intricate details and delicate strokes of the characters convey a sense of both elegance and dynamism. Today, this artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a testament to Utamaro's legacy as a master of Japanese woodblock printing and a key figure in the *ukiyo-e* movement.
