About this work

Overview

Untitled is a woodblock print created by Kajita Hanko in 1894, currently held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts two figures by a body of water: one stands in a vibrant, patterned robe holding a staff, while the other sits on the shore in simpler attire. The scene's tranquility is conveyed through the contrast between the figures' clothing and the natural surroundings.

Technique & Style

The artist achieved a dynamic effect through the use of bold colors and loose brushstrokes, particularly in the rendering of water and foliage. The print's texture and movement are enhanced by the juxtaposition of these elements against the pale paper.
