Description

An abstract composition dominated by a saturated red ground, overlaid with dark brown-black zigzagging bands that form angular, mountain-like peaks stacked in horizontal rows across the sheet. Cream-colored triangular and diamond shapes show through as negative space between the zigzags, and some of the dark bands carry a fine mottled or scratched texture. *Sui*, a mokuhanga (Japanese water-based multi-block woodcut) by Fusako Yoshikawa, date unknown.
