Even on the Darkest Days

A tall bulbous blue vase holds a flowering branch that arcs left and rises to the upper right, printed against a plain grey ground above a dark brown tabletop band. Clusters of red blossoms with pale-green calyxes and a few teardrop-shaped dark-green leaves punctuate the dark brown branch, rendered in flat, hard-edged color with visible woodgrain-textured paper. *Even on the Darkest Days*, an etching by Yoko Akino, 2020.
