The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colorful woodblock print depicts four people and a flag. A man in a black military-style uniform and hat with a red plume holds a long gun in front of a building. The man looks at a woman in a long yellow and green skirt, pink and green shawl, and a man and woman dressed in Western clothes. The woman holds a bouquet of flowers. A man in a military-style uniform and hat with a flagpole in his hand and a flag with red and green rectangles on it stands behind the woman. A man in a green jacket and tan pants stands to the right. A building with a curved roof and a ship's mast are in the background. Kanji characters are written vertically on the right and bottom left. A color gradient ruler is on the right side.
