西国鎮静撫諸将天杯賜之図|Illustration of the Commanders who Pacified Western Japan, Receiving the Emperor's Gift Cups (Saigoku chinbu shoshō tenpai o tamau no zu) is a 1877 ink by Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu, a Impressionism work, depicting Flag, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three busy scenes with people in bright, patterned clothes. On the left, a man in a red robe kneels while another holds a golden cup. The middle panel has a group of people standing near a building with a red roof and white walls. The right side shows a table piled with food and flowers, with servants carrying trays. The bright colors and bold outlines are typical of woodblock prints. The text at the top hints at a historical event, but the exact story isn’t clear just from looking. If you like this style, check out Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu.
