Description
A print rendered almost entirely in shades of blue, dominated by a fractured, faceted pattern of diamonds and angular lines covering the whole background. At the center, a pale, wing-like or bird-like form plunges downward in sharp angular shapes of light blue, white, and black, its silhouette suggesting a falling or diving creature against the geometric field. The composition is abstract and fragmented rather than representational, with the print signed and numbered in pencil below the image; "Fallen Bird from Yodaka no Hoshi," woodblock print by Jun'ichiro Sekino.
