鞠子|Mariko is a 1805 ink by Katsushika Hokusai, a Japonisme work, depicting Eating, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows four people sitting on a tatami mat. One holds a fan, another plays a stringed instrument, and a woman in a fancy hat pours tea. The room looks simple, with a bamboo fence outside and a few dishes on the floor. Notice how the artist used bold lines and flat colors to keep things clear. The scene feels lively but calm, like a quiet gathering. Want to see more? Check out Katsushika Hokusai.
