This horizontal, dark gray woodblock features a deeply carved, textured surface with jagged lines forming three figures. The central figure, with a rounded protrusion on its head, sits between two others. Bright red paint is layered over the grooves, spelling the name "Munakata Shiko" and the date "1958.8.18" in expressive script across the middle. Additional red characters line the bottom, contrasting with the block's raw, charcoal-gray surface.
