Igirisu|Englishmen Dining is a 1 ink by Utagawa Yoshitora, a Impressionism work, depicting Dining, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Two men sit at a small table in a simple room. One reads a book while the other watches, both dressed in dark coats and hats. The table holds cups, bowls, and a plate of food, and a banner with Japanese writing hangs above them. The banner reads *Igirisu* (Englishmen) and *gaisha* (company), hinting this scene is about foreigners dining together. Try looking up Utagawa Yoshitora next to see more prints like this.
