Toyohara Kunichika was, with the exception of Yoshitoshi, the most celebrated printmaker of the Meiji era (1868-1912). The foremost student of Kunisada, Kunichika was best known for his portrayals of kabuki actors and historical scenes. Here, in one of his lesser known print series, he depicts the exterior of a fashionable, contemporary Tokyo restaurant with a couple walking in snow in the foreground. Kunichika was an innovator in the use of western synthetic pigments which introduced a new, stronger palette to Japanese artists.

- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
- temple blocks - Woodblocks used in temple rituals in China, Japan, and Korea.
- woodcuts (prints) - Prints made using the process of woodcut.
