This vibrant color woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "Mother-in-Law Teasing the Bride" offers a fascinating glimpse into the social dynamics and everyday life during the Edo period in Japan. Created around 1785, this artwork belongs to Kiyonaga's series called "A Collection of Humorous Poems (Haifu yanagidaru)".

The artist skillfully captures the expressions and body language of both women, emphasizing their contrasting roles and personalities.
