Large Lacquer Sake Cup Reading "Full House"

Kubo Shunman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Japanese-style artwork with a circular object in the center. The circular object is light brown with black Japanese characters. It appears to be floating above a stack of black boxes with Japanese characters on them. The boxes are stacked in a staggered formation. A white label is on the top box. Behind the boxes is a low table with a slatted top. Further back, a wall with a pattern of circles and a roof are visible. The wall and roof appear to be part of a building. The background of the artwork is a light beige color. There are several lines of Japanese text on the left side. A small red seal is in the upper right corner.
