A single giant bird’s head fills the sheet, its form distilled into sweeping, overlapping curves of dove-grey, sky-blue, and white edged in bold black. The enormous circular eye, ringed by concentric greys, locks the viewer’s gaze while the beak arcs upward like an aerodynamic fin. Fine halftone lines—fanning out in blue and lemon-yellow—suggest feathered motion, dissolving the solid shapes into a shimmering aura. Against the soft pastel yellow background, slender vertical text climbs the right margin, balanced by a column of museum information at lower left; both read “WATASHITACHI NO HEKIGA ’89” and list the scores of participating artists. The composition’s economy—simple geometry, flat color, and precise modulation—turns the bird into a modernist emblem, announcing the 1989 mural exhibition at the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Modern Art with quiet power and clarity.
