『春雨集』 摺物帖窪俊満画 『鎌倉志』 「影向石」|Spring Rain Collection (Harusame shū), vol. 1: “Offering Incense to the Deity of the Stone” (Yōgōishi), from the series History of Kamakura (Kamakura shi) is a 1814 ink by Kubo Shunman, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This image depicts a woman in a red kimono kneeling on the ground, holding a small object in her hands. She is facing a large, bearded man with a red and white robe, who is sitting on a pile of objects. The man has a large, red, furry creature on his head, and he is holding a long, curved object in his hand. The woman and the man are surrounded by Japanese characters, which appear to be a poem or a story. The background of the image is a light beige color, with a subtle texture that suggests it is a woodblock print. The intricate details and colors of this image suggest that it is a work of art from the Romanticism movement. To learn more about the artist who created this piece, look up Kubo Shunman.
