DescriptionFramed and glazed. Image of several villagers going about their daily life in a village courtyard.
The image uses gray shading and detailed penciling to outline the slanted roofs of several multistory houses, the pointed top of a church building, and an arched overhang leading in and out of the courtyard.
Figures include a woman walking her dog (lower left), man with a cane and cloak (bottom right), and a farmer carrying a pail and stick (middle background). The image is simple and reminiscent of a typical day in a French commune.

Support the understanding and appreciation of the Japanese American experience.
