Tray with Noshi Paper (Noshi Indicates a Present)

A round tray with concentric bands of black, olive-gold, and vermilion rests at the composition's lower center, partly overlaid by a folded paper packet bearing red seal-script stamps and gray line drawing. Above it, a noshi ornament of layered folded paper in a checkered maroon-and-tan pattern is tied with pine needles and a dark, feather-like spray, with a red-and-white folded element nestled at its center. Columns of cursive kanji and kana script fill the upper left, with the artist's signature "Hokkei" reading vertically along the right edge; the palette is muted — buff paper ground, gray ink, and touches of vermilion, olive, and maroon.
