About this work

Overview

Untitled is a woodblock print created by Torii Kiyomitsu around 1763. The print is executed in ink and color on paper and is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a scene of five figures on a wooden bridge, dressed in elaborate attire. Two women are seated on one side, with one playing a stringed instrument, while a man and two women are positioned near a palanquin on the other side. The background features trees and Japanese text.

Technique & Style

The artist employed thin, precise lines to convey shading and texture, particularly in the depiction of robes and the bridge. This stylistic choice effectively creates a sense of depth without relying on heavy shading, showcasing Kiyomitsu's skill in using line work to achieve visual nuance.
