A cooking pan with a lid, set beside a heap of leafy greens, is an unusual subject for a Japanese woodblock print, which more often showed actors, landscapes or beautiful women. Pictures of everyday kitchen objects like this belong to a tradition in which artists turned ordinary household goods into a quiet study of shape, texture and color. The bold outlines and flat areas of ink are typical of the woodblock method, in which each color was carved into its own block and pressed onto paper by hand. Looking closely, the viewer can see how the printmaker used the curve of the lid and the crinkled edges of the greens to build a composition from very simple means.
