About this work

This woodblock print shows three people in a room with a grid-patterned wall. The person on the left is sitting on a low table, looking down at the person in front of them. The person in the middle is kneeling, with their head tilted back and eyes closed. The person on the right is standing behind the others, looking down. The people are wearing traditional Japanese clothing with intricate designs. The colors are muted, with shades of yellow, brown, and black. The overall mood is quiet and intimate. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds many beautiful pieces like this one.
