Description
Six stylized white bird-like or triangular-hooded figures with red-marked heads and dot eyes tumble and swirl within a dark, densely cross-hatched wave that curls in deep blue, black, and touches of green across the composition. The background is inked in mottled brown and black with scattered white speckling, giving the scene a turbulent, nocturnal mood, while the lower corner bears the pencil annotations "36/50," "2016.7 天使," and the artist's signature and red seal. This multi-block woodcut print on washi paper, titled *天使 - Angel* by Kawachi Seiko, dates from 2016.
