ENCYU (Hot Afternoon)
Description
A close-up view of a dark timber building corner with a diagonal gable eave and a lattice-patterned wall of diamond cross-hatching in black and white, set against a bright blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. In the lower left, a row of smaller wooden houses with tiled and gabled roofs lines a pale tan-colored street, backed by a cluster of dark green trees. The print is signed in pencil below the image and titled "Encyu (Hot Afternoon)," a woodblock print by Katsuyuki Nishijima.
