Description
A black cat with a stylized gold-outlined body stands in profile against a teal-blue ground scattered with white and pale-blue snow dots, its long tail curling upward behind it. The cat's face shows wide blue-white eyes, a purple mouth, and long white whiskers, with gold-and-purple shading on its back and paw pads picked out in white and gold. Fukami Gashu, "Cat and Snow," mokuhanga woodblock print; the sheet carries a pencil edition notation, the artist's Japanese title inscription, and a red printed signature reading "GASHU" along the right edge.
