"Collection of Humorous Leftovers (Kokkei zansai bukuro)" is a humorous illustrated book, or *surimono*, by the renowned Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyōsai. Dating to around 1882, it is a playful and satirical work characteristic of Kyōsai's style. The book is full of dynamic black and white illustrations with exaggerated features. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this particular *surimono* in its collection. The book was likely printed using woodblock printing, a traditional technique common in Japanese art.
