A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 'Picture of Mitsumata' depicts a bustling scene in Edo (Tokyo), Japan, with figures working on boats against a backdrop of the cityscape.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicts a scene at Mitsumata, a district in Edo (present-day Tokyo), Japan. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e school during the late Edo period, known for his dynamic compositions and imaginative subjects. His work spanned a variety of genres, including warrior prints, historical scenes, and depictions of everyday life. He was a master of colour printing techniques. The print shows figures working on boats along the shoreline, with smoke rising from a fire. In the background, the cityscape of Edo is visible, complete with bridges and a distinctive tower-like structure. The sky is rendered with soft gradations of blue and white, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The composition balances the foreground activity with the distant cityscape, offering a glimpse into the bustling life of Edo. The figures are rendered with careful attention to detail, capturing their movements and expressions as they work. The use of colour is restrained, with blues and browns dominating the scene, creating a harmonious and balanced image.

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.
