MIBORO-NO-MINKA (One's House)
Description
A steep-pitched thatched-roof farmhouse dominates the composition, its dark timber facade punctuated by small square windows, with a second thatched roof visible at left and dense conifers filling the background against a blue sky with white clouds. In the foreground, a low stone wall separates a terraced green field from the house's garden, where purple hydrangea clusters bloom beside the entrance; the print is pencil-numbered 100/500 below the image, with a red seal and the artist's signature at lower right. This woodblock print, "Miboro-no-Minka (One's House)" by Katsuyuki Nishijima, renders the scene in flat, bold color blocks with dark outlines.
