Description
Two stylized standing figures with white mask-like faces fill the center against a mustard-yellow ground bordered in black, their bodies patterned in dark green, maroon, and cream vertical bands. Curling black and cream floral or foliate motifs frame the pair at the corners and along the base, with a scalloped white-and-black patterned form at lower right. The palette is limited to mustard yellow, black, white, deep green, and maroon, giving the composition a flat, graphic, high-contrast quality. Sadao Watanabe, *Flower Garden*, 1963, woodblock print.
