Scene from a Drama 1690 - 1713

"Scene from a Drama" (1690 - 1713) is a black and white woodblock print by Japanese artist Okumura Masanobu. The artwork depicts three figures in traditional clothing against a backdrop of a mountainous landscape. The print is a highly detailed representation of a scene from a kabuki play, a popular form of Japanese theater. The use of intricate lines and patterns, and the dynamic poses of the characters, illustrate the expressive nature of Edo-period woodblock prints and the artistry of Masanobu.
