Description
A steeply pitched thatched roof with a wooden ridge cap fills most of the composition, its dark brown surface rendered in a mottled, granular texture. Bare branches heavy with round orange persimmons cross diagonally over the thatch, with a few fallen orange fruit scattered near the eaves. Below, a lattice-shuttered wooden structure is visible at the base of the roof, set against a pale, muted sky; "No. 136 – Shimohiraya Village," a 1981 silkscreen by Yukio Katsuda.
