A horizontally oriented woodblock carved with deep, jagged textures depicts a city scene. A large building with arched openings stands behind rows of rectangular structures. To the upper right, a circular sun with radiating lines hangs above the town, while sharp diagonal lines crisscross the entire composition. Small, simplified figures walk along the bottom edge against the coarse grain of the dark wood.
