HARUMEKU (Like Spring)

A thatched-roof building with dark green tiled eaves is shown in close, flattened perspective, its wooden lattice windows and sliding paper doors rendered in tan and cream tones. A blue noren curtain bearing a white kanji character hangs in the doorway, and a red lacquered object sits on the ground before the entrance. *Harumeku* (Like Spring), a woodblock print by Katsuyuki Nishijima, uses a restricted palette of indigo, red, tan, and dark green against the building's textured thatch.
