Description

An abstract composition of interlocking white geometric bands with varied woodgrain-like textures, arranged in curved and angular strokes reminiscent of calligraphic brushwork, set against a dark blue-black ground. A small circular gold-yellow accent sits near the upper left of the design, and a red artist's seal appears in the lower left corner beneath the pencil-inscribed title. *Proportion*, a woodblock print by Maki Haku, undated.
