重陽後の月宴 十二月ノ内|Banquet of the Next Full Moon at the Chrysanthemum Festival, from the series The Twelve Months (Chōyō nochi no tsuki no en, Jūni tsuki no uchi) is a 1854 ink by Utagawa Kunisada, a Impressionism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This triptych shows three scenes of people in a room with bright colors and bold patterns. In the first panel, a woman in a red robe sits with a child, surrounded by flowers and a fan. The second panel has two women in green and red, one holding a fan, with a view of trees outside. The third panel shows a man in black and white robes, leaning on a table with another person nearby. The red maple leaves outside hint at autumn, and the round red seal in the corner looks like it marks the series. The people wear traditional Japanese clothing and seem to be enjoying a quiet gathering. Look up Utagawa Kunisada to see more of his work.
