Description
This print, from the series *One Hundred Pictures by Kyōsai* (*Kyōsai hyakuzu*) by Kawanabe Kyōsai, is a woodblock print combining two vignettes on one sheet. In the upper right, a circular inset shows three seated figures in loose robes of red, dark green, and pale white, gathered close together with small round red objects near them. Below, a large gray coiling dragon-like form with a clawed foot dominates the lower composition, extending downward to a smaller figure set among blue-and-white wave patterns at the bottom edge, the whole rendered in muted red, green, gray, and blue against aged cream paper with black outlines.
