this is an uhiyoe print. ukiyoe was very popular in the edo period. this picture was created by utagawa kuniyoshi. i was amazed when i saw this wonderful ukiyoe print for the first time.
kuniyoshi used many subjects for his pictures. he used animals, monsters, and historical heroes. i think that he was one of the pioneers of Japanese manga.
now, Japanese manga is known to people all over the world. even in the edo period, there were humorous pictures like this one.
it's amazing! thank you for listening
