Bird

A monochrome woodblock print in black ink on cream paper, showing a small dark boat beached on a grassy shore, with a slender pole or mast rising beside it. Above, three dark birds fly against a sky rendered in bold, streaky white striations against black, giving the impression of wind-driven clouds. The composition is confined to a square block within a larger sheet, with the artist's cipher "Sen" in the lower left of the image and Japanese characters (前川千帆) inked by hand in the paper's margin at lower left; titled "Bird," by Maekawa Senpan, mokuhanga, year unknown.
