A vertically oriented woodblock in dark pigment depicts a dense city scene. Deep, angular lines form tall buildings with rectangular window recesses. On the left, a prominent structure rises beside smaller, tilted houses clustered on the right. Overlapping geometric shapes and sharp edges fill the frame. The surface is heavily textured with visible gouges and chisel marks, creating a monochromatic, fractured landscape of chiseled architectural forms.
