Pocket-Books 19th century

"Pocket-Books" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Kubo Shunman (1757-1820) showcasing three intricately designed and bound pocketbooks from the 19th century. The print features various shades of brown, red, and white, depicting the covers of the pocketbooks in detail. The book on the right has a design of a branch of blossoming plum, with a white ribbon and a seal on the front cover. The pocketbook in the middle is covered in a rich, dark brown, while the one on the left is a bright red. This artwork is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
