Description

A seated Buddha figure in green-blue robes is shown within a niche or shrine structure, framed by black outlines and pillars in yellow and pink. Above the niche, a crown-like or flame-like motif in teal and yellow tops the composition, with decorative triangular patterning in red, black, and yellow along the lintel. The print uses bold black outlines with flat washes of teal, coral-pink, and yellow on cream paper, with Japanese characters, the artist's signature "Un'ichi Hiratsuka," and the date "1944" inscribed in pencil below the image.
