Description
A dark, textured composition dominated by mottled black and grey ground, crossed by vertical wooden lattice and post forms in brown and pale beige. Two curving green stalks rise through the center, and a red-brown oval shape sits low in the middle ground near a lighter grey rock-like form; a small red seal appears at lower right beside the artist's pencil signature. Woodblock print, ink and color on paper, by Saito Kiyoshi, 1968, titled "Saga, Kyoto (D)."
