Leisure time is from a series by Ishikawa Toraji that depicts Japanese women in fashionable modern interiors.The women are nude in each scene, giving the prints a voyeuristic and erotic sensibility. This woman thumbs through a volume of nineteenth-century Japanese woodblock prints that Toraji uses as a point of contrast to the contemporary woman. Here a sleeping calico cat adds to the tranquility of the scene, emphasising the solitary act of reading.
