Robed figure seated before a Go board: the title is all the record gives us, so the picture's particulars come from what it shows. Go, the board game of black and white stones played on a grid, was a favorite pastime among Japanese scholars, merchants and the educated classes for centuries, and it appears often in woodblock prints as a marker of refinement and quiet leisure. Ink and color on paper suggests a hand-worked piece rather than a mass-produced sheet, so attention to the figure's robes and the stones' placement is likely to reward a closer look.
