Untitled (hiyoshi-mamoru)

This woodblock print by Hiyoshi Mamoru depicts a Korean village scene with a row of carved wooden guardian posts (jangseung) bearing painted grimacing faces and vertical inscriptions including "天下大將軍," standing beside a bare-branched tree. A man in a black hat rides a donkey while a woman balancing a jar on her head walks beside him, and to the right a woman in a pink jeogori-chima and two children stand near the totem poles; low hills and fields recede in the pale-yellow background. The palette is soft and muted—dusty pinks, blues, and browns—giving the scene a quiet, pastoral mood.
