About this work

This print shows a man in bright yellow robes and a black hat, holding a fan and a sword. His clothes have bold black patterns, and he’s standing on a dark rock. In the background, there’s a faint scene of people and buildings, but the focus is on him. The way the lines overlap on his robes is called *cross-hatching*—it creates texture without too much color. This style was common in prints from Japan at the time. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use simple lines to add depth.
