Description
A cluster of slender, dark-trunked trees rises from the lower right, their branches fanning upward into a dense mass of finely stippled foliage in blue-black and deep indigo that fills the upper portion of the composition against a plain silvery-white ground. A small red seal appears at lower left, with pencil inscriptions along the bottom margin. This woodblock print, "Winter Tree (work 74-72)" by Maki Haku, renders the trees in a flattened, graphic silhouette with no additional landscape elements.
