Court Hat and Court Dress

Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black hat with a beige string tied around it. The hat sits on a white and orange garment, possibly a kimono, with a floral pattern. The garment is rumpled and has long ribbons or ties extending from it. The background of the image is a light beige color with Japanese writing in black and red ink. The writing appears to be in a calligraphic style and is arranged in several vertical lines. A small white rectangle at the bottom center contains the number "2013" in black text. The overall design and style suggest a traditional Japanese artwork. The title of the artwork is "Court Hat and Court Dress" and the artist is Kubo Shunman.
