Description:
A big wild boar is sleeping peacefully on a field. A small village house is seen far away. This print was a part of two groups of prints, produced by Unsodo in Kyoto between 1938-40. These prints were never reprinted because the blocks were transported from Kyoto to Tokyo during the war. They were lost due to the carpet bombing of Tokyo at the end of W.W.II.
