Untitled, Two People

Two stylized standing figures with white, mask-like faces fill the center of the composition, one in a dark green robe with a red circular medallion, the other in a red and black patterned robe with green sleeves; both have simplified oval heads outlined in black with abstract facial features. They stand within a black-outlined frame against a bright yellow ground, flanked by stylized foliage in green, white, and blue, with a bird (or bird-like patterned form) in blue, red, and green at their feet. Bold black contour lines separate flat, saturated color fields in this woodblock print by Sadao Watanabe (Untitled, Two People; year unknown), printed on a deigned, deckle-edged washi sheet with visible fibers in the yellow border.
