From the collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art
Untitled is a 1706 ink by Okumura Masanobu, a Baroque work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows four women sitting on the ground. They wear long robes with patterns and headpieces. One woman holds a fan. Another carries a basket with food. The scene looks busy but calm. Notice how the artist uses simple lines and shading to show clothing folds and faces. The colors are soft, mostly light browns and greens. Look up Okumura Masanobu next to see more of his work.
Okumura Masanobu lived in Edo (now Tokyo) when the city was a flashy, fast-growing hub of theater, gossip, and new ideas.
