Original Japanese woodblock print depicting a traditional festival pavilion or ceremonial structure in motion, rendered in a stylized architectural silhouette with figures, carts, and attendants below. The composition emphasizes strong linear forms and layered planes, with a restrained palette of black, ochre, rust, and blue that evokes both tradition and mid-century modern design.

The work is signed “Kunio” in pencil, bears a red artist seal, and is dated 1963, consistent with post-war Japanese printmaking traditions. The imagery and execution align with mid-20th-century Japanese woodblock revival prints, blending historical subject matter with modern graphic sensibility.

Presented in a period frame under glass. The reverse bears remnants of an old label indicating woodcut, consistent with the medium.

Framed dimensions approximate 20 x 24 inches.
