Ink drawing on white paper; a small cluster of looping, rounded forms connected by a twisted line to a star-shaped figure below; a line of Japanese text appears above the image.
Illustrated book spread with columns of Japanese text on the left and a small ink illustration at lower right depicting a solitary tree atop a rocky island rising from stylized waves, rendered in fine black linework with gray wash shading.
Intaglio print or charcoal drawing on a vertical rectangular format; a clenched fist emerges from the center of a dark, eight-pointed starburst shape in the upper half, with soft grainy texturing fading to light gray below.
Printed page with columns of Japanese text at right and a black ink illustration at lower left depicting a tiered altar or ornate structure with small cat figures perched on top and sides, rendered in bold woodblock-style lines.
Ink print in black and gray tones depicting a spherical mass scattered with small star-like figures, encircling a dark central void within a web-like grid. A densely clustered figurative group rises at the top, with clouds above, while a curved line sweeps from the upper right down to a small figure at lower left.
Drawing in black ink and gray wash on white paper; a large horizontal bone at top, rendered in gray stippling, with a small insect figure at its center; below, a butterfly with open wings drawn in outline with irregular spotted patterning hangs between two vertical chains of stacked small bones; a small ladder form appears beneath the butterfly's body.
Black and white print combining illustration and Japanese vertical text columns; an open suitcase filled with spherical snow globes, each engraved with miniature cityscapes and landscapes.
Black ink drawing on white paper; surreal landscape with a large cloud mass containing sheep at upper left, raining down dotted lines; a rocky formation with a bird-like figure and trees at left connected by a cable to a framed rectangular device; a rounded mountain shape at right on a dark base with a small figure and a tower emitting droplets.
Ink drawing of a large spherical creature with textured, spotted skin and faint facial features, cradling a tall sailing ship with billowing sails atop its mass; a small wooden chair stands alone at lower right, rendered in fine crosshatching on white paper.
Mezzotint or aquatint print with deep black ground; night sky filled with scattered white stars, a bright central orb, and a luminous swirling nebula at right; small dark figures stand at lower left among low clouds or mist.
Ink drawing of a woman's face with long flowing dark hair, wearing a spiraling conical hat; a fish with spread fins crosses in front of her neck, surrounded by scattered cloud-like shapes on a white background.
Printed page with vertical columns of Japanese text above a small illustration of a dark, woolly ram facing a human figure in profile, rendered in fine line and stipple.
Printed page with vertical columns of Japanese text in black ink, a handwritten pink Japanese signature at lower left, and a pink handwritten Latin-script signature reading 'Suzanne Treister' at lower right, on off-white paper.
