Description
A corner building with a shopfront occupies the foreground, its ground floor rendered in ochre and grey stonework with dark window and door openings; above it rises a taller structure banded in horizontal stripes of green and grey-green. Pale cream and white walls with grid-like window patterns fill the background under a plain light sky, and a small reddish-orange sign or awning marks the shop corner. No figures are present; the print is built from flat, angular blocks of color with visible woodgrain texture. Jun'ichiro Sekino, "House on Canal Road," woodblock print, year unknown.
