The Strange Occurrence of Ukiyo Matahei and his Famous Paintings
Colorful woodblock print depicting a seated man in traditional Japanese clothing looking up. He sits cross-legged on a patterned rug with his hair pulled back. A blue and red garment covers his shoulders. Behind him, a woman in a black and white kimono holding a hand fan is being swept up by a large, red and white creature with a long tail and a bird-like object on a leash. The creature appears to be emerging from a swirling vortex of black hair. A man with a red headband and a small white beard is behind them. The background is a light yellow color with Japanese text on the right side.
