About the work

Bunraku Puppetry is a color woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, dated 1805. It belongs to the series Competition of Precious Children Proud of Their Arts, Among Seven Scrolls. Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806) was a master of the Japanese woodblock print, best known for his portraits of women. He framed faces close up, with fine lines and soft colour, and his prints were collected in Europe from the 1860s on. The original is in the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art.
