Description

Against a mottled teal-green ground, an elongated white cloud-like form stretches horizontally across the center, overlaid with fine scribbled ink lines, small dotted circles, and scattered angular shapes in red, yellow, indigo, black-and-white stripe, and dark green. A curved white arrow sweeps up from the lower right, and pale bubble-like circles cluster in the upper right corner against the green field. The composition is abstract, with no legible figures, rendered in the flat color planes and mica-dusted texture typical of this 1968 woodblock print by Hideo Hagiwara, titled *Circus No. 6*.
