About this work

Overview

Untitled is a woodblock print created by Kubo Shunman in 1798, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a lively scene with three figures: two men in long robes and a woman in a bright red hooded cloak dancing before them. The woman's dynamic pose and swirling cloak contrast with the plain background. Accompanying Japanese poetry on the left adds to the work's meaning.

Technique & Style

The print showcases Shunman's use of soft yet bold colors, particularly the red and gold hues in the woman's cloak. The artist's signature in red is discreet yet visible. The loose brushstrokes in the cloak convey a sense of movement.
