About the piece
Created around 1690 by Hishikawa Moronobu, a foundational figure in ukiyo-e art, this painting utilizes a 'mitate' or parodic allusion to depict characters from classical legend in contemporary Edo dress. The work is distinguished by the artist's confident brushwork and the striking contrast of the red kimono against a minimalist, atmospheric background.
