Bedroom Scene

Okumura Masanobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicts a nude man lying on a patterned futon; he has black hair and lies on his stomach with his head resting on a folded arm. The man lies facing right with one leg bent under the other; to his left sits a woman on the edge of the futon; she wears a yellow and red garment and has black hair pulled into a bun; she leans forward, touching the man's buttocks with a comb. The futon has a red blanket on top and a patterned sheet underneath; on the wall behind the pair are a few scenes of the outdoors; on the right are two trays with domestic items; the background paper is beige with dark spots; there is Japanese writing throughout. The image is titled "Bedroom Scene".
