About this work

This print shows a simple wooden tray holding a few gardening tools and a small plant. The tools include a rake, a pair of scissors, and a trowel, all arranged neatly. There’s also a long stick with a loop at the end, and a small blue container. The background is plain, with some Japanese writing scattered around the edges. The plant looks like a tiny bonsai or houseplant, carefully placed in the tray. The tools are drawn with clean lines and soft colors, giving it a quiet, everyday feel.
