More about this artwork

This Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene with two figures, presumably a man and a woman, captured in a moment of interaction. The woman is slightly hunched and appears weary or ill, her expression is downcast and she looks tired, her lips slightly parted as if mid-sentence or catching her breath. Her garment is an array of pale greens and browns, adorned with subtle patterns and draped in an elegant, flowing manner typical of traditional Japanese attire. Her hair is styled upwards, secured with accessories that suggest a sense of refinement.Beside her, the man stands upright and attentive, his face turned towards her with an air of concern or contemplation. He holds a large, dark, patterned cloth or garment that partially obscures his body. His clothing is richly decorated with swirling patterns and a deep color palette contrasting with the woman’s lighter tones. His hair, too, is styled away from his face, topped with a more ornate headpiece compared to the woman’s, signaling his status or role.The man also holds a stick, at the end of which hangs a heavy-looking pot or lantern, suggesting they might be in transit or in the midst of a journey or ceremony. Their footwear peeks out from under their robes, showing traditional Japanese sandals.

Utagawa Toyokuni (1769-1825) was a prominent Japanese woodblock printmaker and painter of the Edo period. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), he was the chief disciple of Utagawa Toyoharu, a well-respected printmaker. He specialized in kabuki theater prints, which depicted famous actors in performances and featured dramatic scenes from plays. In addition to kabuki theater prints, Toyokuni also produced portraits of geishas, landscapes, and scenes from everyday life. He eventually became a leading master of the Utagawa School.
