Wine-Set for the New Year Ceremony

Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wine-Set for the New Year Ceremony by Kubo Shunman depicts a still life arrangement. The artwork features a gray kettle positioned on top of a short, black cylindrical object. To the left of the kettle is a short, round table with a patterned surface, supporting a red plate. Behind the kettle, on a low, light-colored wooden table, sits a large, cylindrical container covered in a red, green, and gold patterned fabric. The background of the image is a light beige color with Japanese writing in black and red ink scattered throughout.
