Description

A single male figure in bold, angular outline stands with one arm raised overhead, wearing a red top with a blue patch on the sleeve and blue trousers, his skin rendered in ochre-orange. He is set against a pale grey-white sky and flanked by rows of latticed wooden structures — possibly fences, racks, or scaffolding — rendered in muted teal-grey with dark brown crosshatched framing. "Rising tide," a mokuhanga print by Tadashige Ono (year unknown), uses flat blocks of red, blue, ochre, and grey-teal with heavy dark outlines throughout.
