Description
A circular medallion in black on cream paper depicts a stylized rosette with layered, rounded petals radiating from a small central floral motif, encircled by a border of bead-like dots. The composition is symmetrical and graphic, rendered as bold black-ink shapes against the unprinted paper ground, with no shading or gradation. A red seal appears at lower right and columns of Japanese characters are printed at lower left; this woodblock print is by Hiratsuka Un'ichi, 1930.
