The attention to detail is astounding as Kiyonaga masterfully depicts every element within the composition. From the vibrant colors that bring life to each character's attire to the meticulous rendering of musical instruments such as the shamisen or samisen and music stands scattered throughout, every aspect contributes to an immersive experience for viewers.
