"Edo no Baito"

This modern ukiyo-e portrait reimagines a Japanese 7-Eleven employee in full kimono, her uniform pattern adapted to traditional fabrics. In one hand she holds a Suica card—Japan’s ubiquitous travel pass—and in the other, a box of Kinoko no Yama, a beloved chocolate and biscuit snack. The illustration blends the quiet grace of woodblock composition with the recognizable signs of contemporary Japanese daily life.
