A woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro depicting figures preparing for the Tsukimi (Moon Festival). The print showcases Utamaro's refined lines and subtle colour palette, capturing a moment of quiet anticipation.
This woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) depicts a scene related to the Tsukimi, or Moon Festival, a traditional Japanese celebration of the harvest moon. Utamaro was a leading designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings, especially of bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). His work is known for its refined lines and subtle colour palettes. The print shows several figures engaged in the preparations for the festival. A woman stands at the left, carrying a tray with vases, while another woman and a child arrange flowers in the foreground. In the background, a smaller scene shows additional figures, possibly engaged in conversation or further preparations. The composition is carefully arranged, with a balance between the figures and the surrounding space. The colours are muted, with a focus on soft creams, reds, and greens, typical of Utamaro's style. The print captures a moment of quiet activity and anticipation, reflecting the cultural importance of the Moon Festival in Japanese society.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
