Illustration of the Imperial Diet House of Commons with a Listing of all Members 1890

Toyohara Kuniteru III's "Illustration of the Imperial Diet House of Commons with a Listing of all Members" is a woodblock print depicting the assembly of the Imperial Diet of Japan. The work is a significant example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that often depicted popular scenes and events. The print, created in 1890, captures a moment of political change in Japan, as the country was transitioning from the Tokugawa Shogunate to a modern, constitutional monarchy. The work is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
