Woodblock Print Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Japanese, 1798-1861). , ca. 1830. Woodblock print, 14 5/8 x 10 5/16 in. ( x cm). This print offers a glimpse into Tokyo street life in the nineteenth century. Here, a beauty self-consciously tugs at her outfit while walking briskly to the theater. The text elaborates: “She is first going to the stage, where there are many beautiful ladies. So she took great care and neatly changed the way she wore her kimono.” Asian Art ca. 1830
