About the piece

Created during Edward Atkinson Hornel's 1894 visit to Japan, this oil painting depicts a lively Tokyo street scene. The work is characterized by the artist's signature heavy impasto and a warm, glowing palette, highlighting the patterns of kimonos and parasols amidst a crowd. As a key member of the Glasgow Boys, Hornel's work represents a sophisticated blend of Scottish painting tradition and Japanese visual influence.
