Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A Japanese-style boat with a curved bow and a flat stern, decorated with round designs along its side, sits in the water near a tree-lined shore. The boat has a wooden deck with a railing around it and people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing are on board. A large tree with green leaves is on the right side. In the background, there are mountains and a body of water. The sky is overcast. The image contains Japanese writing in black and red ink.
