Untitled is a 1796 ink by Utagawa Toyohiro, a Romanticism work, depicting Walking, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two people standing close together. One wears a dark, patterned kimono with red trim and holds a walking stick. The other, bent slightly, leans on a staff and carries a basket with a fish inside. Both have simple, expressive faces. The writing on the left side looks like Japanese poetry or notes—this kind of print was often used for sharing short poems. The colors are soft and the lines are clean, typical of woodblock prints. Look up Utagawa Toyohiro next to see more of his work.
