Description

A single glass tumbler holding a rose stem with several large veined leaves sits on a woven mat, rendered entirely in bold black woodblock lines against the cream paper. The glass is depicted with vertical striations suggesting transparency, and a small red seal appears at lower right beside the pencil-inscribed title and signature "Un'ichi Hiratsuka 1943." The print is a high-contrast black-and-white composition with only the single red seal as a spot of color.
