brief comment
Looking out over the Sea of Japan from Gogoan in Yahiko, Niigata, he could probably see the calm spring sea and the fishermen calmly going about their daily chores, as if a impressionist painting.
I tried to express the deep landscape that he must have seen through the arrangement of character strings and the simple but profound shading of “sumi” ink.
