Paintings – Japanese / Asian Paintings

Young and old Otafuku cheerfully enjoying various enjoyments and arts are arranged lively in this composition full of movement. This subject was widely popular in Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo after the late Edo period, and similar works are not rare. However, this painting shows Fujii's specialty in witty painting that catches the viewers eyes with its elaborate composition.
