Description
A dark, textured hillside rises steeply across the lower two-thirds of the composition, its slope rendered in solid near-black, while a cluster of stone and stucco houses with tiled roofs sits along the ridge at the top of the rise; a smaller white house stands further back to the left, connected by a weathered wooden fence and a utility pole. A pale blue rectangular sign is affixed to the main building's wall beneath a window, and a wooden cross-topped post leans near a pile of light-colored stones at the lower right. The sky above is rendered as a smooth gradient from soft peach at the top to pale lilac near the horizon, giving the scene a quiet, dusk-like stillness. Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock) print, "House On a sloping road," Hodaka Yoshida.
