Choki ( Scissors)

A woman with her hair in a dark topknot and rouged cheeks stands in three-quarter view, eyes closed and lips parted, wearing a yellow short-sleeved blouse with a red cord tied at the collar; the same red cord extends across the composition and ties in a bow around the stem of a large red tulip beside her. The tulip's petals, green leaves, and the woman's earring are rendered in flat color over a heavily mottled, textured blue-and-white ground. Yuji Hiratsuka, "Choki (Scissors)," intaglio, 2020.
