Untitled is a 1783 ink by Kitao Shigemasa, a Romanticism work, depicting Medicine, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Three people sit in a cozy room with tatami mats and a low table. The person in the middle blows smoke from a pipe while holding a small object. The woman on the left holds a fan and looks down, and the woman on the right adjusts her sleeve, wearing a green robe with white patterns. Notice the tiny details—like the fan’s delicate lines or the way the smoke curls. This print mixes bold colors with quiet patterns, making everyday life feel special. Want to see more?
