A tall, pale blue-white hooded figure with a striped grey face, wide white eyes, and a red mouth stands against a solid dark navy background; a black-and-white striped bird with a red-tipped head crest perches on a yellow horizontal bar held near the figure's torso, alongside two small solid-black bird forms. A red square seal appears in the lower left, with the artist's pencil signature below the print. "Bird and a Tool (Tori to dogu)," color woodblock print by Umetaro Azechi, 1969, edition 168/185.
