The Plains of Musashi
The image shows a six-panel screen with a gold background. The panels are vertical and rectangular. A black border surrounds the screen. The bottom third of the screen features a silhouette of grasses and foliage in shades of green and brown. On the left, a large dark blue circle is present. The gold background has a textured appearance and exhibits signs of aging, with visible discoloration and wear. A thin black line runs vertically down each panel. The artist's work appears to be titled "The Plains of Musashi".
