The artwork titled “A person as a person should be,” created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, belongs to the Ukiyo-e art movement and is classified under the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork features intricate ink lines depicting a somewhat whimsical and surreal composition, characteristic of Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s style. An assemblage of human figures is depicted in an imaginative manner, intertwining with each other in a seemingly delicate dance. The minimalistic use of color emphasizes the fluidity and expressiveness of the lines. Additionally, Japanese script is elegantly inscribed on the artwork, complementing its composition and lending it an air of cultural authenticity. The scene, though abstract in its execution, invites contemplation on the nature of humanity and the interconnectedness of individuals.
