A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I titled 'The Fourth Month', depicting a genre scene of daily life in Japan. The print showcases the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of human activity and domestic settings.
Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist, best known for his depictions of kabuki actors and beautiful women (bijin-ga). He headed the Utagawa school for almost 30 years and greatly influenced the development of ukiyo-e. His work is characterised by its dynamic compositions, expressive figures, and attention to detail. 'The Fourth Month' presents a genre scene of daily life, likely depicting activities associated with the lunar month of April. The composition is divided into two distinct interior spaces. On the left, a man is shown preparing fish, surrounded by women engaged in domestic tasks. The right side depicts women in various poses, one with a child holding a dog. The figures are rendered with delicate lines and subtle colour variations, typical of ukiyo-e prints. The print offers a glimpse into the everyday life and customs of the Edo period in Japan.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
