Description

A stylized woman's profile fills the composition, rendered in flat geometric blocks of tan, white, black, and mustard-yellow, with her hair swept into a curling, wave-like band across the top. A thin pink loop crosses above her head, and a small pink-and-black bird or mask-like form sits near her chin at lower right. Jun'ichiro Sekino, woodblock print, date unknown.
