Description
An abstract, nearly monochrome composition in cream, sepia, and grey built from dense fields of short vertical and diagonal hatch-marks, divided by a single vertical column of rounded, cobble-like stones running down the center. A band of similar stones crosses horizontally near the bottom, meeting a smooth beige rectangular panel in the lower-left corner beside a red seal stamp. The print is signed and numbered 5/60 in pencil below the image; "Summer B" by Okiie Hashimoto, mokuhanga, year unknown.
