新皇居於テ正殿憲法発布式之図|Illustration of the Issuing of the State Constitution in the State Chamber of the New Imperial Palace (Shin kōkyo ni oite seiden kenpō happushiki no zu) is a 14 ink by Adachi Ginkō, a Impressionism work, depicting Interior, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a grand room packed with people in fancy uniforms. A red carpet leads to a throne at the center, where a figure sits under a golden canopy. Gold decorations, chandeliers, and banners cover the walls, which are dark purple with floral patterns. On the left, a group in formal clothes stands near a woman in a long white dress. Everyone looks serious, as if waiting for something important. The artist used bright colors and sharp lines to show every detail, from the embroidery on the uniforms to the tassels on the ceiling. The mix of traditional Japanese designs and Western-style clothing hints at a big change happening. Look up The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see this print in person.
