Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicts a belt and a fan on a piece of cloth. The belt is brown with black and white designs and lies on the right side. The fan is white with a brown handle and lies on the left. Both sit on a beige cloth with wavy lines suggesting movement. The background is beige with a darker beige border. Japanese characters in black and a red seal are at the top and bottom left. A small white rectangle at the bottom center contains the number 1969.
