Donald D. Walker Collection,
JAPANESE WOODCUT PRINTS
KUBO, SHUNMAN (1757-1820)

Kubo is represented in the Walker collection by a single composition dated between 1789 and 1791. Also, perhaps even primarily, a writer, Kubo produced successful gesaku novels and haiku poetry. Later in life he ceased commercial print work, but wrote poetry for the woodcuts of other ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai.
