The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Utagawa Kunisada's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
