Kubo Shumman (1757-1820) is a significant figure in the realm of Japanese art and literature, particularly known for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre and his work as a poet. Born in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), Shumman was originally named Kubo Yasubei. He was a versatile artist who excelled in various forms of art, including painting, woodblock printing, and poetry. Shumman was a pupil of Kitao Shigemasa, a prominent ukiyo-e artist, and he later became a leading figure in the Kitao school of art.

Shumman's work is characterized by its delicate and refined style, often depicting scenes of everyday life, beautiful women (bijin-ga), and kabuki actors. His prints are noted for their elegant lines and subtle use of color, which distinguish them from the more vibrant and dramatic works of some of his contemporaries. In addition to his visual art, Shumman was also an accomplished poet, contributing to the literary circles of his time. He was associated with the kyōka (playful poetry) movement, which involved the creation of humorous and satirical poems.

One of Shumman's notable contributions to the art world was his role in the development of surimono, a type of privately commissioned woodblock print that often combined poetry with images. These prints were typically produced in limited editions and were highly prized by collectors. Shumman's surimono are particularly esteemed for their exquisite craftsmanship and the harmonious integration of text and image.

Throughout his career, Shumman maintained a close relationship with other prominent artists and poets, including Yashima Gakutei and Sakai Hōitsu. His influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his works continued to be admired and studied by subsequent generations of artists and scholars. Kubo Shumman's legacy is a testament to his skill and creativity, and his contributions to Japanese art and literature remain significant to this day.
