Untitled is a 1830 ink by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a Romanticism work, depicting house, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy night scene with a village by the water. A tall cliff rises behind the houses, and bare trees stick out against the dark sky. One tree has a bright red lantern hanging from its branches. The lantern stands out against the white snow and dark background, making it the only warm color in the scene. This kind of print was meant to be seen quickly, like a poster. Look up woodblock print next to see how artists made these images.
