Description

A red wall with a curved gray-tiled roofline runs across the composition, broken by a small barred window and a dark, round-topped archway leading into shadow. A gray stone base lines the bottom of the wall, and a small figure in a green top and pink trousers walks toward the archway across an ochre-colored ground, with a tall dark tree trunk crossing the scene vertically. "Red Wall (Akai kabe)," from the series "Manchuria (Manshu)," is a color woodblock print (oban) by Umetaro Azechi, 1945.
