Description
A stylized woman's face fills the right side of the composition in bold black outline, her dark hair patterned with cloud-like curling motifs, one visible eye and simplified nose and lips rendered in thick graphic lines. To the left, a column of small stylized clouds descends toward a shoreline scene with a boat and radiating water lines at the base. Printed in black ink on cream, speckled paper, this is a pencil-numbered impression (10/3144) signed "Kan Kozaki" in the lower margin, from the 1986 single-color woodcut *Spring in Dejima*.
