Ichikawa of Matsubaya with Minomo and Tamamo is a 1780 by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows two women in traditional Japanese robes. The woman in front wears a red-and-white patterned kimono with a wide black obi belt, and her hair is styled high with a fan-shaped hairpin. Behind her, a smaller woman in a pale green robe holds a fan, her hair tied in a simple bun. Both have calm, neutral expressions. Notice how the artist used bold outlines and flat colors to create a clean, graphic look. The waves on the robe’s fabric look almost like moving water.
