Description
A multi-tiered white castle keep with dark grey-blue roofs rises above a stone-block foundation wall, framed by clusters of dark green pine trees on both sides. The composition is vertical, with pale blue sky and soft white clouds filling the upper portion behind the castle's tiered gables. Rendered in flat, clean-edged colors typical of woodblock printing, the scene is calm and orderly, with no human figures present. This is "Odawarajyo (Odawara Castle)" by Fumio Kitaoka, a woodblock print of unknown date.
