Plum blossoms at Umekyo

Plum trees in white blossom arch over a thatched-roof farmhouse, their dark, gnarled trunks and branches set against a near-black background suggesting a dense grove or night setting. The thatched roofs are rendered in tan and brown with a chimney-like straw vent, and green shrubs and bare twigs fill the lower foreground; no human figures appear. This woodblock print, "Plum blossoms at Umekyo" by Shiro Kasamatsu, is signed in the lower right and carries a Japanese title cartouche and publisher seals along the left margin.
