Scene from The Kōrin Picture Book (Volume 1)

Nakamura Hōchū

Cleveland Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting a scene with several people and a tree trunk. The tree trunk is large, brown and centered on the left side. The tree's branches are covered with green leaves and extend across the top. A small figure in a pink outfit is climbing the tree on the left. Another figure wearing a head covering and a blue robe with pink flowers sits on the right side, cross-legged on the ground. A third figure, wearing a green robe, sits on the left side, also cross-legged on the ground, facing the figure on the right. They are close to a woven basket on the left. The background is a mottled beige color. The style suggests an eighteenth- or nineteenth-century Japanese illustration. The print appears to be a scene from a book based on a folded double-page spread.
