Party by a winding stream n.d.

"Party by a Winding Stream" is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Kubo Shunman (1757-1820), now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. This work features a lively scene of a group enjoying a picnic in a lush setting, with cherry blossoms in full bloom. The composition is divided into two panels, with a winding stream flowing through the center, creating a sense of movement and tranquility. The vibrant colors and detailed figures, set against a backdrop of blooming flowers and a winding stream, showcase the beauty of nature and the joy of a social gathering.
