Inari-ko|The Second Month is a 1767 ink by Ishikawa Toyomasa, a Romanticism work, depicting Drum, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows four people in a chaotic fight. One person in red is sprawled on the ground, another in a striped outfit is kneeling on a drum, and two others are lunging at each other. In the background, there’s a red torii gate, a banner with Japanese text, and a boat on a river. The scene looks like a moment from a story or play, full of movement and drama. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to make it feel lively. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
