Shunko

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork depicts two men in Western-style clothing. The man on the left wears a blue and white checked suit with a white collar, black shoes, and holds a smoking pipe. The man on the right wears a black jacket with gold pants, a black hat, and stands behind a red metal fence. A large tree trunk with green leaves and a stone wall are on the right. The background shows a landscape with trees and a hazy sky. The image appears to be a woodblock print.
