Candle-Stand and Fan

Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Japanese text fills the top half of the image, in black and red ink. A red and white hat with green leaves sits on the bottom left. The hat has a black base and a beige cord. Behind the hat on the right is a tall, thin candlestick with a round beige base and a round dish at the top. A pink and white flame burns from the dish. The background fades from light beige at the top to light blue at the bottom. A small beige rectangle at the bottom center displays the number 2004 in black text. The entire image sits on a beige background.
