Utagawa Kunisada

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colorful woodblock print featuring a man in traditional Japanese clothing. The man is wearing a red top with a blue collar and a purple robe tied with a large black bow. His pants have a peach-colored background with blue and gold designs. He has black hair pulled back and is holding a branch with pink blossoms in his right hand and a pair of gongs hanging from a strap over his left shoulder. The background is a light beige color with more pink blossoms at the top. There are several lines of Japanese text on the right side of the print, including a red seal. The print appears to be an artwork by Utagawa Kunisada.
