Description
A close-up view of overlapping tiled rooftops rendered in bands of dark brown, black, and ochre, with the diagonal lines of the tile courses creating a strong geometric pattern across the composition. A narrow vertical strip of red and a small section of white wall with dark eaves break up the rooftops on the left side, while a sliver of pale sky shows in the upper left corner. "Twilight in Kyoto," a woodblock print by Jun'ichiro Sekino.
