Description
A cluster of small angular fragments in coral pink, teal, yellow-green, and violet-blue, along with one soft grey-white circle, sits slightly left of center against a vast, textured dark navy-black ground. The geometric shapes are tightly grouped with no surrounding figures or setting, creating an abstract, isolated composition dominated by the enveloping dark field. *Soil 9. Chisa no Machi. Town in the Earth.*, a woodblock print by Hideo Hagiwara (year unknown).
