Child Reaching for a Fishbowl, c. mid 1720s. Nishimura Shigenaga (Japanese, 1697-1756). Hand-colored woodblock print; sheet: 33.7 x 15.9 cm (13 1/4 x 6 1/4 in.). This early hand-colored print is enriched with a technique called urushi-e (literally “lacquer picture”), in which glue is painted over areas of black pigment, producing a lustrous surface reminiscent of lacquer. Metal filings sprinkled onto the designs of parasols, a fan, and musical instruments on the woman’s kimono enhance the sense of luxury.
