This small, illustrated book, *Kyōsai Drunken Pictures (Vol. 2)*, was created by Kawanabe Kyōsai in 1883, a year before his death. As one of Japan’s most renowned artists of the Edo period, Kyōsai was known for his humorous and sometimes satirical style. The book, part of a series, showcases Kyōsai’s iconic *ukiyo-e* illustrations and is a testament to his talent for capturing the essence of Japanese life. The artwork is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
