A Poetry Gathering at Night

This gorgeous triptych was depicted with the special format called “Benigirai (Dislike Red)” by Kubo Shunman. This format is expressed in mostly shades of black and white with hints of colors. Shunman was good at this format and this work is considered as one of the best in this format. He added the trick of the light to the black and white world, which he gives colors only the area in the light. The upstairs of the teahouse is depicted in full colors which means the room is extremely bright. Shunman knew well that less colors enhance more imagination.

Kubo Shunman (1757-1820) apprenticed under Kitao Shigemasa and excelled in painting full-body portraits of beautiful women in the Kiyonaga style. He became renowned for his masterpieces featuring a manner known as "beni-girai" meaning "red-hating." In beni-girai, images are expressed using a limited color palette, typically shades of sumi ink and purple, rather than the vibrant colors typical of traditional ukiyo-e. Shunman's mastery of beni-girai added a unique charm to his artworks, distinguishing him as one of the foremost artists of his time.
