Unknown- Child and Daffodil

A second cataloged impression of "Child and Daffodil," this print combines a child figure with daffodil flowers in a daily-life composition that balances figural weight against botanical delicacy. The informal "Unknown" prefix reflects uncertain documentation rather than ambiguity about the image itself, which clearly depicts this specific subject pairing. In Kawano's hand, a child figure would be rendered with the same bold outlines he applied to his adult female subjects, though the proportions — larger head relative to body, simpler limbs — require adjusted compositional thinking. Daffodils, with their defined petal structure and central trumpet form, offer clear graphic shapes well-suited to woodblock carving. The print likely employs a limited but carefully chosen color palette, with yellow or white for the flowers against a deeper ground, and warm tones for the child's face and clothing. The subject's gentle seasonal association with spring gives the print a lightness of mood characteristic of Kawano's non-dancer work.
