Go Gatsu|The Fifth Month is a 1748 ink by Ishikawa Toyonobu, a Baroque work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man in a green and white robe standing under a wooden roof. He’s holding a fan and looking at a small table with two dolls dressed in bright clothes. The background has a tiled wall and some Japanese writing. The man’s robe has big, patterned pockets, and the dolls wear tall, pointed hats. The scene looks like a quiet moment in a traditional home. Look up Ishikawa Toyonobu to see more of his work.
Ishikawa Toyonobu spent his life in Edo, now Tokyo, where he carved and printed the everyday scenes of city life.
