This exquisite woodblock print, created during the Edo period, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both beauty and symbolism.

Flying geese gracefully soar across the scene against a backdrop of olive green hues that evoke tranquility and harmony with nature.

A remarkable feature within this piece is a pagoda ingeniously constructed from shimmering coins. Symbolizing prosperity and fortune, it serves as a testament to Japan's flourishing economy during this era. Kubo Shunman's meticulous attention to detail combined with his skillful use of color creates an immersive experience for viewers. Each element within "No. 7: Votive paintings. .
