A vertically oriented woodblock carving depicts a stylized landscape with geometric shapes defined by deep grooves. Center, a tan house with a red roof sits among rounded trees. Large, pointed leaves fill the foreground. In the upper third, teal water rests between brown hills under a gray-green sky. Muted shades of olive and rust characterize the layered composition, creating a textured, relief-like effect through its distinct contours.
