Description

The image file is a 5×3 grid of 15 different abstract print thumbnails (a portfolio/contact sheet), not a single artwork photo — and the medium listed (serigraphy, woodcut, chine collé, 2016, by a named contemporary artist) doesn't match a Japanese woodblock print either. Worth checking upstream whether this record has the wrong image attached or doesn't belong in the Japanese-prints dataset at all.

One panel (bottom row, far left) does visually match the title "The moon and the sledgehammer" — a black circle with a stippled texture above a thin diagonal yellow line ending in a small red circle. Here's a description of that panel only, since it's the only part of the image consistent with the given title:

A large black circle filled with a dense speckled texture sits above a thin diagonal mustard-yellow line that runs down to the right, ending in a small solid red circle, against a plain cream background. The reduced, geometric forms and limited palette (black, yellow, red, cream) give the composition a spare, graphic quality.

Flag: this is one of 15 panels in the source image, not a dedicated single-artwork photo — please confirm this is the correct crop before using this description in the catalog.
