A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, depicting elegantly dressed women enjoying a game of sugoroku. The print provides a glimpse into the leisure activities of upper-class women in 19th-century Japan.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) depicts a group of elegantly dressed women enjoying a game of sugoroku, a traditional Japanese board game similar to backgammon. Toyokuni I was a prominent ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, known for his portraits of actors and beautiful women (bijin-ga). His work captures the fashions and pastimes of the era. The print is divided into two panels, presenting an interior scene with a view to an exterior garden. The women are arranged around the sugoroku board, their kimonos displaying a range of patterns and colours. One woman is preparing tea, while others observe or participate in the game. The background features a screen with a view of Mount Fuji, a common motif in Japanese art. The composition is carefully balanced, with attention paid to the details of the clothing, hairstyles, and interior furnishings. The print offers a glimpse into the leisure activities of upper-class women in 19th-century 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.
