"Samurai Assis Tenant Une Coupe De Sake" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900), a prominent figure in the Ukiyo-e genre during the late Edo and early Meiji periods. The title of the piece, when translated from French, means "Samurai Sitting Holding a Cup of Sake." This work is part of Kunichika's extensive oeuvre, which often depicted scenes from kabuki theater, famous actors, and historical narratives.

The print portrays a samurai, a member of the Japanese warrior class, in a moment of repose, engaging in the culturally significant act of sake drinking. Sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine, held an important place in samurai culture, often associated with ceremonial practices and social rituals. In this image, the samurai's relaxed posture and the intimate act of holding a cup suggest a private, contemplative moment, contrasting with the common depictions of samurai in battle or in dramatic kabuki roles.

Kunichika's mastery of color and detail is evident in the print, with the samurai's garments rendered in rich patterns and the sake cup delicately illustrated to convey its fine craftsmanship. The artist's work is known for its vivid and expressive style, which brought new life to the traditional Ukiyo-e practice at a time when Japan was undergoing rapid modernization.

"Samurai Assis Tenant Une Coupe De Sake" reflects both the cultural significance of the samurai in Japanese history and the social customs of the time. It is an example of Kunichika's skill in capturing the essence of Japanese identity and the transitional period of the Meiji Restoration through the medium of woodblock prints. As with many Ukiyo-e works, this print would have been part of a series or a larger collection, intended for commercial sale to a broad audience, including the emerging middle class of the time.

The print remains an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Japanese art, contributing to the understanding of the role of samurai culture in the visual arts and the evolution of Ukiyo-e during a pivotal era in Japan's history.
