Picnic Outfit

Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print titled "Picnic Outfit" by Kubo Shunman. The print depicts a man sitting on a large yellow hat; he is wearing a red robe with white spots. A brown hat rests on his head and an object stretches across his body. The man sits beside a brown bag covered in patterns; green leaves extend from the bag. Small Japanese characters are written in columns on either side of the print. The background is off-white. A brown border surrounds the print; a small white rectangle with the number 2009 is centered on the bottom edge. A red seal is on the lower right corner.
