"Sunrise with Fisherman in Boat" is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Kubo Shunman, created in 1795. The print depicts a serene landscape of a distant mountain range and a large, fiery red sun rising over a calm body of water. A small boat with two fishermen rows peacefully towards the shore, where a lone pine tree stands tall on a small rocky outcropping. The scene is rendered in delicate detail, capturing the beauty of nature and the quiet rhythm of daily life in Japan. The print is a fine example of ukiyo-e art, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints that flourished in the Edo period, and showcases Shunman's mastery of the medium.
