The Ukiyo-e was a very popular type of picture or art that was inspired by artists who were constantly gaining aspirations and desires from areas such as: the theatre, life in the pleasure quarters, and travel.

The varying textures, shapes and complexity of the objects in the painting find balance with the asymmetry of the placement of the objects, plus the subtle symmetry of certain objects such as the bowls and plates. There is great repetition of lights and reflections, as well as many yellows and reds throughout. The negative space is very simple in comparison to the positive space.
