Description
A young girl's portrait accompanied by a written poem — integrating text and image in the classical Japanese tradition — rendered in Hiratsuka's 1984 woodblock. The girl's direct gaze anchors the composition while the accompanying poem extends the meaning into language. Made in his late eighties, this is among his most technically accomplished late figure portraits.
