Description

Five men in caps work at a row of lathes and metal-turning machines, rendered in muted grey, black, and pale blue-green tones against a plain cream background; the nearest figure wears a blue jacket and glasses, bending toward the machinery, while the others lean over their own stations further back. Fine diagonal graphite lines rise behind the workers, suggesting overhead belts, rods, or factory framework. This woodblock print, titled *Factory Workers* by Wada Sanzo, carries Japanese characters and a red seal in the lower left and additional text along the right margin.
