Listening to the cuckoo's cry n.d.

"Listening to the cuckoo's cry" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Utagawa Toyohiro, a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e movement of the Edo period. The artwork depicts a woman in traditional Japanese clothing, standing on a veranda, listening intently to the cry of a cuckoo bird. The print, created using woodblock printing techniques, is a beautiful example of the artist's mastery of color and composition. The woman's elegant posture and the delicate details of her kimono, along with the natural scenery, contribute to the serene and contemplative mood of the artwork.
