Hari-shigoto

Hari-shigoto (針仕事, "Needlework", c. 1794–95) is a colour triptych print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806). It depicts women working with cloth at home with children playing around them. Critics hold the prints in high regard, in particular the skill required to reproduce the translucent effect of the cloth with woodblock prints.
