About this work

This woodcut print features a man standing on a rocky shore, gazing out at a body of water. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a sleeveless shirt, and shorts, with a spear in his right hand. In the background, a woman stands on the shore, while a dog sits beside her. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and hills. A cloud-like shape above the man contains the words "Noa Noa" in bold letters, surrounded by decorative elements. The overall atmosphere of the print is one of serenity and contemplation.
