A horizontally oriented woodblock in black ink on tan wood depicts a cityscape. Solid black masses form the foreground buildings and a central walkway. On the left, a structure features a gabled roof with diagonal cuts. A tall, thin tower rises near the center. To the right, repeated horizontal strokes suggest shingles on a building. Distinct vertical wood grain creates a streaked texture across the background.
