Description
A single figure in a pink patterned jacket, blue headscarf, and dark trousers bends forward at the waist while working in a flooded rice paddy, hands or tool submerged in the amber-toned water. Behind the paddy stands a cluster of farmhouses with a large dark thatched gable roof, a tiled roof outbuilding with white plaster walls, and a red-tiled veranda roof running along a wall of paper-paneled windows, all fronted by a low green hedge and backed by a dense row of dark green trees against a golden-tan sky. The print is signed and titled "Tazura" in pencil beneath the image, numbered 54/90, with a red artist's seal.
