The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a fan-shaped artwork titled "Street Show" by Kano Motonobu. The artwork depicts a scene with people and objects. The fan shape is wider at the top than at the bottom, with a curved cutout at the bottom center. The artwork shows a group of people, some wearing traditional Japanese clothing, engaged in various activities. The figures are drawn in a simple, monochromatic style. One figure sits cross-legged on the ground, while another stands to the left. A woman and child are located on the left side, near a tree. Three other figures are on the right side, with one appearing to hold a long object. The background of the fan features simple drawings of trees and grass. The entire image is presented in shades of gray. The artwork is set against a white background.
