A second owl composition within Katsuda's numbered series, this serigraph likely differs from No. 123 in pose, background, or color palette. The recurring owl subject across multiple catalog numbers indicates a sustained interest in the bird's formal qualities—the circular facial disk, asymmetrical ear placement, and compressed body silhouette—that silkscreen can render with particular clarity through separated color screens. The flat, opaque inks of serigraph printing allow Katsuda to control the bird's tonal values precisely, distinguishing the pale ventral plumage from the darker dorsal markings without the blending that brush or woodblock would introduce.
