Description
A robed figure with a bold black outline and yellow hair strokes stands at left with one hand raised, walking upright across stylized blue and white wave patterns that fill the background. To the right, several figures crowd together in a boat, rendered with the same thick black contours and patches of red, yellow, and blue, their hands raised toward the standing figure; a fish-like form floats in the waves at upper right. The scene is bordered by a black frame, with "1967" and the artist's signature "SADAO WATANABE" plus a red seal stamped below.
