Zodiac Series of Erotica

This woodblock print by Clifton Karhu depicts two figures embracing from behind, rendered in bold black outline against a plain cream background. The figures are shown seated close together, wearing robes with a wide obi-like band across the back, their hair gathered up in topknots; no facial features are visible as both are seen from the rear. The composition is spare and graphic, limited to black linework on an unadorned ground with no additional setting or background detail.
