The Yuzen Process

A figure in a yellow hat sits at the edge of dark water, holding a long thin rod or pole, with a length of tangled blue-black cord or netting spread across the water's surface in loose loops; a dark rounded form, possibly another seated figure or a bundle, rests beside them, and a reddish-orange shape floats in the water to the right. The palette is muted—pale grey-green background, black and indigo water, with the yellow hat and reddish-orange form as the only strong color accents. Woodblock print, "The Yuzen Process" by Fumio Kitaoka, year unknown.
