Former Residence of Koizumi Yakumi (Lafcadio Hearn), Matsue

A monochrome woodblock print in bold black ink on cream paper, depicting a residential street scene with a large, heavily textured pine tree dominating the left foreground, its gnarled trunk and spreading branches rendered in dense linear striations. A low wooden fence and gate lead to tiled-roof buildings at center, with a wooden lattice-walled house lining the right side of the composition and a slender tree with a starburst-like crown rising behind the rooftops. The print bears a red seal at lower left, the artist's pencil signature "Un'ichi Hiratsuka" and the date "1948" at lower right, and Japanese characters with the title and place name at lower left, with no human figures present in the scene.
