Untitled is a 1770 ink by Katsukawa Shunshō, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a man in a striped kimono, holding a sword and wearing a woven hat. He appears to be walking or running, with his feet bare and his kimono flowing behind him. The background of the print is a muted peach color, with a green rectangle at the top that may represent a window or a wall. The overall effect is one of dynamic movement and energy. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Katsukawa Shunshō.
Katsukawa Shunshō spent his life in Edo (now Tokyo), where the city’s teahouses and theaters buzzed with energy.
