About this work

This print shows three scenes side by side. On the left, a woman in a long dress sits outside near a fence, holding a baby. A man in a top hat stands in the middle, holding a child’s hand. On the right, a group eats at a table inside a room with big windows. Notice how the colors are bright but flat, and the people’s clothes look like they’re from a different time. The middle scene’s man wears a top hat, which was unusual in Japan then. Look up Utagawa Yoshikazu to see more of his work.
