Utamarou's paintings are well known across Inazuma and have since been mass-produced to the point that they are cheap household curiosities. The Traveler has apparently seen Yoimiya using one as kindling, Thoma using one to pad a table leg, and Sayu using a stack of them as a cushion.[1]
"Kichiboushi" also claims to have seen Utamarou drawing in the past, saying that Utamarou took a very long time to produce one work.[2]

Turns out it's not edible, but Paimon is still very happy with that gift! (TravelerTravelerThe player's chosen name for the Traveler): Aoi? The general goods shop owner? Let me see.

I think I've heard that name before... Paimon: Of course, master Utamarou's works can be found all around Inazuma after all! Paimon: Did you see one of them in Ayaka's residence? The one that Paimon has right now isn't too shabby either. (TravelerTravelerThe player's chosen name for the Traveler): Oh, I remember now! One of those paintings was used by Yoimiya as kindling, right? Paimon: Eh? Kindling? (TravelerTravelerThe player's chosen name for the Traveler): Uh, yeah! I think Thoma used it as padding for table legs as well. Paimon: What? Padding? (TravelerTravelerThe player's chosen name for the Traveler): And, if I remember correctly, I also saw Sayu use a stack of those paintings as a cushion for her nap. Paimon: Sayu has several of those works? That can't be right... (TravelerTravelerThe player's chosen name for the Traveler): Real masterpieces aren't mass-produced.
