Description
An abstracted, close-up view of nasturtium leaves and vines rendered in swirling curved bands of orange, red, and gold, with a single small teal-green oval accent on the left side. The composition fills the sheet with interlocking flame-like forms against a white ground, leaving no sky, horizon, or figures visible. Fujio Yoshida's 1953 woodblock print is signed in pencil below the image and titled in Japanese characters and pencil at lower left and center.
