From the collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art
Untitled is a 1748 ink by Okumura Masanobu, a Baroque work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print shows a woman in a kimono, holding a fan. She's looking down, and her hair is styled in an updo. The kimono has a geometric pattern with flowers and leaves. The woman's kimono is detailed, with a mix of stripes and flowers. Her fan has a picture on it, but it's hard to make out. The background is plain, so the focus is on the woman. The print is delicate, with fine lines and subtle colors. If you're interested in more art like this, you might want to check out the work of Okumura Masanobu.
Okumura Masanobu lived in Edo (now Tokyo) when the city was a flashy, fast-growing hub of theater, gossip, and new ideas.
