Tsuchiyama

A large teal-scaled dragon coils across the foreground, its horned head lowered toward a stone water trough while water streams from its jaws; a single robed figure walks along a wooden building in the background. The palette contrasts the dragon's deep blue-green against a mottled rust-and-white ground and a mustard-yellow vertical panel bearing Japanese characters at right. *Tsuchiyama*, woodblock print by Walt Padgett, 2021.
