Description
A close-up view of overlapping tiled rooftops with dark blue-grey shingles and ornate curved ridge caps, set against a mottled sky rendered in bands of blue and white. Warm tan-gold tones on the gable end contrast with the cool blues of the roof tiles and sky, giving the composition a quiet, graphic simplicity. Woodblock print titled "Kanro (late autumn to early winter)" by Katsuyuki Nishijima.
