Water Sprinkler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a Water Sprinkler by Shimizu Yoshitake. The object has two main sections: a larger rounded bottom half and a smaller rounded top half. The bottom half is white with a dark design featuring two people sitting on the ground, one playing a stringed instrument and the other holding a fan; there are also various objects around them. The top half is predominantly dark with a white floral design and swirling patterns. A dark stopper with a rounded top and intricate design sits on top. The background is light grey.
