A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 'Illustration of Poem by the Emperor Kwoko' depicts a procession of figures in a snowy environment, showcasing the artist's skill in the Ukiyo-e style.

This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicts a scene with figures in a snowy environment. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e style, known for his depictions of historical events, mythical creatures, and landscapes. His work often displays a flair for the dramatic and a keen eye for detail. The print shows a procession of figures, possibly courtiers or members of the imperial entourage, walking through a snow-covered area. One figure, presumably the Emperor Kwoko, is sheltered by a large parasol. The figures are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with attention given to the patterns and textures of their robes. The background features a snow-covered mountain or hill, rendered in soft, muted tones. A text panel with Japanese calligraphy is visible at the upper right, likely containing the poem referenced in the title. The print is characterised by its delicate lines, subtle colour palette, and careful composition, typical of Ukiyo-e prints of the period.

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.
