"This is a comic print. It presents a fairly simple comic situation and does not call for much by way of comment. An irate householder, clad in night dress (his bed is shown in the background at the left), is shown assailing a slumbering, well-fed cat who has allowed white rats to disturb the man's sleep. ...The print is signed, Hiroshige gihitsu ("Hiroshige, painted for fun").

Decorative Sunday: Commemorative Stamps and Ukiyo-E Prints
Today we highlight a set of Ukiyo-E prints of classic Japanese artworks. These prints were released by the Ministry of Postal Service in 1964 in celebration of that year’s Olympic Games, held in Tokyo. Each print was featured as a commemorative postage stamp between the years 1949 and 1963. The prints were hand-made using traditional woodblock techniques, though reduced in scale from the originals. Kyoto Hanga-In published the prints out of Tokyo.
The prints feature the Kitagawa Utamaro (1751-1805) piece Beautiful Woman Playing a Glass Flute; Mt. Fuji Viewed Through Ocean Waves, by Katsushika Hokusai (1759-1849); and four works by Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858): Moon and Geese, Nihonbashi Bridge, Yui, and Kyoto.
