Print
A vertically oriented woodblock print features two weathered brown posts rising from rippling blue water. A small red seal marks the taller post's base. To the left, thin green and black reeds emerge from the surface. The composition sits on aged paper with visible creases and tears along the left edge near two black binding threads. Minimalist dark horizontal lines suggest movement against a pale, faded background.
