Utagawa Kunisada

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada. The man in the image is wearing a green robe with yellow stripes and circular patterns, and a red sash around his waist. His robe is open at the front, revealing a blue garment underneath. He has black hair styled in a traditional Japanese topknot and is barefoot. The man is leaning against a wooden pillar, with one leg bent behind him and the other extended in front. In the background, there are wooden pillars and a window with a red frame. A barrel and a box are on the floor to the right. The scene appears to be set indoors, with a glimpse of a tree and sky visible through an opening on the left. Japanese characters are written in black ink on the right side and upper right corner of the print.
