Yashima Gakutei

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colorful Japanese woodblock print of a seated man. The man wears a beige, blue, and yellow checkered kimono with black hem and a black, beige, and yellow striped hakama overtop. He sits on a low wooden stool and holds a black circular object. A beige and white curtain hangs from a curved wooden rod on the left behind the man. A large tree trunk bends from the left. The background features a gray bridge over water with trees on the far bank and a roofed building to the right. A border around the image consists of peach blossoms and contains Japanese text on either side.
