About this work

This print shows a tall cactus against a flat white background. It’s bold and simple—just black ink and empty space. The cactus looks sharp and spiky. Matsubara used thick black lines to make it stand out. The white paper pushes the dark shape forward so your eyes can’t look away. Next time you’re in the Museum of Ethnography, look for her prints.
