A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi showing workers extracting clay in the Asakusa Imado district of Edo. The scene is rendered with a muted colour palette and careful attention to detail.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. He is celebrated for his dynamic and imaginative prints, particularly those depicting historical and mythical scenes, warriors, and animals. Kuniyoshi's work is characterised by its bold compositions, expressive figures, and innovative use of colour and perspective. He was a significant influence on later generations of ukiyo-e artists. His prints are held in major collections worldwide. 'Asakusa Imado' depicts workers extracting clay, likely for pottery or construction, in the Asakusa Imado district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The scene shows figures digging and transporting earth, with plumes of smoke rising from kilns or ovens. The composition is divided into distinct areas, with the foreground occupied by the workers and the background showing a distant mountain and sky. The print uses a muted colour palette, with shades of brown, blue, and beige creating a sense of realism and atmosphere. The figures are rendered with careful attention to detail, capturing their movements and expressions as they perform their tasks.

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.
