A poetic moment within the intimacy of books: Kubo Shunman and his delicate gaze
In the art print of the Kanazawa library books and the foreign cat from Shmyji Temple, Kubo Shunman creates a refined scene where the cultural object and the animal respond to each other. The palette features muted tones accented with brighter touches, while the fine and precise lines render the texture of the bindings and the cat's fur with subtle elegance. The space is carefully balanced: an equilibrium between emptiness and detail that creates a contemplative, almost auditory atmosphere. The light suggests the softness of a precious interior, inviting the viewer to linger on each motif and inscription.
