Description

An open book spread in black-and-white woodblock line print, bound with visible cord stitching at the gutter and displayed on a blue cloth backdrop. The left page shows a robed figure standing on a shoreline beside pine trees and rocks, with birds on the water and columns of cursive text above; the right page depicts a hilly, pine-covered landscape with a curving river, an arched bridge, small thatched-roof structures, and additional vertical text columns including a cartouche of characters at right. The paper is toned buff with visible foxing and wear along the edges, consistent with the book's identification as Fujikawa waka hyakushu by Hishikawa Moronobu, a woodblock-printed book in two volumes.
