Description
A large thatch-roofed building with a steep brown gable dominates the composition, its dark-latticed windows glowing yellow and a blue noren curtain with white lettering hung across the entrance; two red benches sit on the porch beside it. A bamboo fence, a stone lantern, and a smaller gray-tiled roof stand to the right, with a paved stone road curving through the foreground and dense green trees filling the background under a pale sky. This mokuhanga woodblock print, "The Tsutaya restaurant near Toriimoto" by Ido Masao, is rendered in flat, textured color blocks typical of the medium.
