Rice fields cut into a valley's sloping hillside — terraced agriculture at its most elemental — are depicted in an undated woodblock that belongs to Hiratsuka's rural landscape subjects. The terraced fields' stepped geometry suits his compositional instinct for organized repetition across a picture surface. The title's parenthetical notation suggests the image was described by an archivist rather than titled by the artist.
