Description
A gravel courtyard bordered by a low wooden fence dominates the foreground, leading back to a white-walled house with a dark tiled roof; a rounded green tree stands at right, with bare dark trees and a triangular thatched or tiled rooftop in the background. The palette is limited to black, white, ochre, and green, rendered in a stippled, textured woodblock technique. *House in Kyoto (B)*, woodblock print by Saito Kiyoshi, year unknown.
