A horizontally oriented woodblock carving with black ink depicts a cityscape in relief. Sharp, jagged grooves reveal the light-colored wood grain beneath the inked surface. On the left, an angular building stands beside a small figure. A bridge spans the middle, sheltering several small figures below. In the upper center, radiating lines emerge from a central point, creating an expressive, abstract scene.
