Man and Woman

Kitagawa Utamaro

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print titled "Man and Woman" by Kitagawa Utamaro. The woman is on the left, leaning over the man on the right. She has black hair styled up with a black and white hairpiece and adorned with chopsticks; she is wearing a gray kimono with a pink lining and a circular pattern. The man has black hair slicked back with a small tail; he is wearing a black kimono with a white circular emblem. The print features a beige background with Japanese writing in black ink on the right side. The woman's face is turned toward the man, and the man's head is tilted back, with his eyes closed. The woman's right hand is on the man's shoulder, and her left hand holds a fan in front of her.
