Description
Concentric black rings of varying sizes cluster across the upper two-thirds of a pale grey-beige plate, each ring set marking where a short vertical dash—a raindrop—strikes the surface, with a single isolated ring near the lower right and open, undisturbed space below. The composition is entirely abstract and non-figurative, rendered in dense black linework against the muted warm-grey ground, with no landscape, architecture, or human presence. Pencil-inscribed below the image are the edition number, the title "Rain Song-4," and the artist's signature; per the accompanying facts this is an intaglio print titled *Rain Song 4* by Toshihisa Fudezuka, 2018.
