Description

A dark green mountain slope descends in the foreground, scattered with small pink and white flowers with yellow centers; above it, layered bands of white and mauve clouds cut across the composition, parting to reveal a blue-grey peak against a warm ochre-orange sky. The palette is limited to deep green, dusty rose/mauve, white, blue-grey, and burnt orange, built up in the flecked, textured strokes characteristic of woodblock printing. Titled "Last remaining flowers," by Hideo Hagiwara, mokuhanga, numbered 99/100 in pencil beneath the image.
