This woodblock print from the *A Hundred Comic Pictures* series by Ōishi Shinko, depicting a scene of humorous domestic strife, is a classic example of *ukiyo-e*. The print, likely created between 1832-1835, showcases the artist's masterful use of line and subtle shading to capture the playful interaction between the figures. The composition is simple yet effective, emphasizing the comedic absurdity of the situation, perhaps a husband being reprimanded by his wife, or a playful altercation between friends. This piece offers a glimpse into the everyday life and humor of Edo-period Japan.
