About this work

This print shows a large, black-and-white fan with a peacock feather design resting on a small table. Behind it, a rooftop with tiled eaves and a wooden balcony frames a view of a garden with pine trees and rocks. Below, two black boxes sit on a woven mat, marked with Japanese characters. The fan’s design and the boxes’ labels hint at a quiet moment in a Japanese home, possibly linked to a seasonal tradition. The artist used ink and color carefully to create depth and texture. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
