About this work

Overview

Untitled is a woodblock print created by Kubo Shunman in 1742, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a serene scene: a figure in a loose robe plays a lute-like instrument while two fish swim above. The simple composition and soft colors evoke a sense of calm, with the meaning potentially enriched by the Japanese text along the top edge.

Technique & Style

Shunman employed short, sharp lines to convey texture, particularly on the fish and instrument. The use of quick, wavy lines to suggest water and the subtle interplay of ink and color on light paper contribute to the print's understated elegance.
