A vertically oriented woodblock print in black ink on cream textile features a repeating grid of stylized landscapes. Each segment depicts a circular, leaf-filled tree on the left, beside garden rows and fences. Small houses with pitched roofs fill the middle ground under wavy, arced lines. Thick strokes and fine hatching texture the rectangular tiles. The composition emphasizes rhythmic patterns, with solid black blocks and grainy lines defining each backyard scene.
