A Modern Version of Shosho visiting Komachi (Furyu Shosho kayoi Komachi) c. 1715

Okumura Masanobu’s *A Modern Version of Shosho visiting Komachi (Furyu Shosho kayoi Komachi)* is a woodblock print depicting a scene of two figures in a winter landscape. The print is a classic example of the *ukiyo-e* genre, which depicts everyday life in Japan. The artist, known for his elegant and detailed drawings, captured the beauty of the snowy scene with delicate lines and delicate washes of color. The print is a reminder of the beauty and refinement of Japanese culture. The scene is divided into two parts, with a woman carrying an umbrella in the foreground, and two figures seated within a building in the background. This work was created during the Edo period (1603-1868) when woodblock printing flourished in Japan. *A Modern Version of Shosho visiting Komachi* is currently located in the Art Institute of Chicago.
