Description
A woven straw stand or table holds a small round basket-weave object at its center, set beneath a cluster of large morning glory flowers in blue, white, and red-and-white striped patterns with green leaves. The composition is flat and graphic, rendered in bold outlined shapes against a plain white background, with a horizontal band of blue wave-like patterning across the lower portion. This woodblock print, titled *August Festival* by Kanamori Yoshio, uses a simplified, poster-like palette of blue, green, red, and beige.
