Untitled is a 1850 ink by Hokucho Joren, a Romanticism work, depicting kniv, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a single, folded paper fan resting on a black stand. The fan’s surface has a yellow background with a painted flower and dark branches. A green ribbon with a pattern ties it together, and a red stamp with Japanese characters sits near the bottom. The fan’s blade is long and dark, leaning against the stand. The Japanese text around the fan suggests it might have been part of a special set of prints. These were often shared among friends during holidays. Look up kniv next to see how this fan’s design connects to a real object.
