新吉原仮宅両国之図|Picture of the Temporary Lodgings of the New Yoshiwara Pleasure Quarter at Ryōgoku (Shin Yoshiwara Karitaku Ryogoku no zu) is a 1784 ink by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, depicting Interior, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy indoor scene with two rooms connected by an open doorway. On the left, women in long robes and fancy hats stand near a counter, while on the right, a group gathers around a table with food and drinks. Outside the windows, a cityscape with buildings and a bridge stretches into the distance, and red lanterns hang from the ceiling. Notice how the artist uses simple lines and soft colors to show both the crowded rooms and the distant view outside. The mix of indoor life and outdoor scenery creates a sense of depth. Look up Kitagawa Utamaro to see more of his work.
