Seniors' Farting Contest from Sketch Album

Kawanabe Kyōsai

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two-page spread from a book with tan, aged paper. Two sketches of elderly men are drawn in pencil. The sketch on the left shows a man sitting on another man who is on the ground. The man on the right depicts a man with a shocked expression, appearing to be hit or surprised, with another figure on top of him or emerging behind him. Both sketches are simple, expressive line drawings.
