Description
Two stylized, long-necked bird figures with coral-red heads and curved beaks stand side by side against a horizontal band of teal-to-pale turquoise, framed by a teal border. Their bodies are rendered as flat geometric panels — checkerboard squares, small triangles, concentric rings, and diamonds — in cream, brown, coral, and teal, and below them sit a row of small dots, a radiating spoke motif, and a single round coral shape at lower right. The overall effect is symmetrical, patterned, and softly whimsical rather than naturalistic. "Morning 12," a woodblock print by Amano Kunihiro (year unknown).
