L'Homme Accroupi Chinois (Miles 88), printed by Honda, Ogawa

A man crouches with his elbows on his knees, chin resting on his hands, wearing a black skullcap with a red button, a blue robe patterned with pale roundels and geometric motifs, and black trousers printed with a white lattice design, with a red sash or lining visible beneath; black shoes with white soles and socks complete the costume. He is set against a plain grey background beside tall green bamboo stalks rendered in flat colour with outlined leaves, his gaze directed steadily toward the viewer. *L'Homme Accroupi Chinois* (Miles 88) is a woodblock print in colours by Paul Jacoulet, printed by Ogawa, 1947.
