This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print bears the artist's name as its title, suggesting it functions as a representative or signature work within Iwata's catalog. The piece likely encapsulates the qualities that define his printmaking practice: careful attention to figure, mood, and the particular tonal possibilities of the woodblock medium. As a named piece rather than a titled composition, it invites viewers to approach it as an introduction to the artist rather than an illustration of a subject, a visual calling card printed on traditional oban paper.
