Atago Hill at Shiba

Torii Kiyonaga

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print titled "Atago Hill at Shiba" by Torii Kiyonaga. The scene shows three people outdoors at a low table under a roof. The woman standing on the left side of the image wears a black kimono with orange trim and a hat. She is holding a large gold and blue patterned fan. The woman sitting on the right wears a reddish-brown kimono and a gold patterned obi. She sits on a low table and works on something with a tool. The man, partially visible on the left, bends over and appears to be preparing food on a low table. There are trees and a fence in the background. The roof overhead appears to be made of bamboo or wood slats. Characters in black ink are written in the top-right corner and along the bottom-left side.
