西国諸将鎮静天杯賜ル之図|Illustration of the Commanders who Pacified Western Japan, Receiving the Emperor's Gift Cups (Saigoku chinsei shoshō tenpai o tamawaru no zu) is a 1887 ink by Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu, a Impressionism work, depicting Ceremony, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three busy scenes with lots of people in bright colors. On the left, men in fancy robes sit at a table with papers. The middle has a big table with cups and a man handing them out. The right side shows people carrying gifts and standing near a building with windows. The text at the top is Japanese and explains what’s happening—it’s about a ceremony for soldiers. The artist packed in lots of small details, like the patterns on the robes and the way the cups are stacked. Look up Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu next to see more of his work.
