About this work

Overview

Torii Kiyotada's Untitled is a woodblock print on paper, created around 1744. It is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a lively indoor scene with figures in traditional attire. A reclining man is surrounded by others, set against a backdrop of wooden architectural features, including beams, sliding doors, and a staircase leading to another populated area.

Technique & Style

Kiyotada employed careful linework to convey depth and texture, evident in the patterns on walls and robes. Shading techniques, achieved through the layering of ink and color, lend a three-dimensional quality to the figures.
