Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Japanese-style woodblock print. A man in traditional Japanese clothing, including a black hat, white robe with a patterned grey and red lining visible at the sleeve, and white socks, stands on a wooden platform. The platform has a roof supported by wooden pillars. The man faces a partially open sliding door with a patterned panel at the bottom. The background shows a beige wall with Japanese writing in black and red ink on the left side, and a landscape with a winding path, green bushes, and brown ground.
