Catalog note / 解説
This is an exquisite example of one of Kubo Shunman's <i>surimono</i>, a privately-produced and limited-edition print often commissioned to mark a special occasion. <i>Surimono</i> usually feature poems, often composed by the people who ordered them, and are typified by the intimate relationship between text and image. Here, the poem is delicately rendered to the upper right of the owl, which perches on the branch of a flowering magnolia. Shunman (1757-1820) was a celebrated painter, print-maker and author of the Edo period (1615-1868). As a print-maker, he specialised in <i>surimono</i>. Materials: Colour print from wood blocks
