A woodblock used to print 0000-0983-0-PS and 0000-0984-0-PS. The artist's characteristic facial features and his hair are reduced to shapes resembling broad, calligraphic strokes. Seven instances of the word for "child" (子), rendered in seal script (篆书), and a single instance of a pictogram representing the artist's wife, are positioned in a column that bisects the artist's face.

None. (There may be inscriptions on the back of the woodblock which are not visible because the work is framed.)

Condition

The woodblock is affixed to a paper backing which is flaking off at the corners and along the edges. Lizard droppings. Stains (possibly left by insect nests). White marks. Green stains along the left edge of the image.
