Description
Two dark silhouetted figures with raised, angular arms stand amid a field of vertical wooden posts on a rust-red ground, set against a dense band of dark netting or foliage rendered in jagged crosshatched strokes, above which a pale yellow-green sky holds sparse scratchy line marks suggesting birds. The palette is limited to rust red, indigo-black, pale blue-white, and a muted chartreuse, printed with rough, scratched woodgrain textures throughout. "Beach," a mokuhanga woodblock print by Tadashige Ono, signed in red at the lower right.
