Untitled is a 1859 ink by Utagawa Yoshitora, a Impressionism work, depicting animal, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a dramatic scene of a person in a wild, colorful costume. They’re holding a sword and a fan, with a fierce mask-like face and a black cloak. A giant black crow swoops down, while a pink, snarling creature with sharp teeth lies on the ground. The artist packed in bold colors and sharp lines to show action and emotion. The text in the corners looks like Japanese poetry or notes. Want to see more? Check out Utagawa Yoshitora.
