"Kagiya Oyasumidokoro" (The Key Shop, or The Key Keeper's Nap) is a renowned nishiki-e (full-color woodblock print) by Suzuki Harunobu, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the 18th century. Created around 1769 during the Edo period, this piece is a part of Harunobu's larger body of work that helped pioneer and popularize the multi-colored print technique. Harunobu is often credited with being one of the first artists to produce nishiki-e on a broad scale, which significantly impacted the ukiyo-e genre and Japanese art as a whole.

The print depicts a tranquil scene at a key shop, where a young shopkeeper is seen taking a nap, possibly after a long day's work. The composition is notable for its delicate lines, subtle use of color, and the serene atmosphere it evokes. Harunobu's skillful portrayal of the figure and the interior reflects the daily life and fashion of the Edo period, providing a window into the customs and culture of the time.

"Kagiya Oyasumidokoro" exemplifies Harunobu's expertise in capturing the beauty of ordinary moments and the grace of the common people, a theme that is recurrent throughout his oeuvre. The artwork is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, as it illustrates the early use of the polychrome printing technique that would come to define the ukiyo-e prints of the late 18th and 19th centuries.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Kagiya Oyasumidokoro" has been studied for its artistic merit and cultural significance, contributing to the understanding of the lifestyle and artistic advancements of the Edo period. The print remains an important piece in the study of Suzuki Harunobu's work and the development of Japanese woodblock printing.
