Drinking a Cup of Wine Before Retiring for Bed (From an Untitled Series)

Suzuki Harunobu

Cleveland Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicts a group of people in a room. The room has tatami flooring and shoji screens, with a scalloped valance at the top. Seven women and one man are present; all wear traditional kimonos. The women are gathered around a large screen which displays a mountain scene. One woman pours a drink from a jug into a cup. A low table holds a black box and a tray with small objects. The background features a shelf with books and a window showing trees. The color palette includes shades of brown, gold, beige, and black. The print's edges are worn and aged.
