Description
Close-up, monochrome etching of a thatched roof rendered as two dense horizontal bands of fine stippled straw texture, separated by a darker weathered band and framed by rough wooden beams at top and a wood-and-lattice structure at the bottom edge. The palette is limited to warm sepia-black ink on cream paper, with no sky, ground, or figures visible — the composition is entirely abstracted into stacked horizontal textures. The sheet is pencil-signed and numbered below the image, consistent with the 1981 etching by Tanaka Ryohei.
