The Zodiac

Two bound albums lie side by side against a white background: one with a dark navy cloth cover and purple ribbon ties at the spine, the other with a textured, crinkled orange-red paper cover and visible cord binding along its right edge. Both covers bear an identical rectangular label — cream paper with a small red seal, the printed title "THE ZODIAC," the kanji 十二支, and the handwritten signature "By Karhu" in black brushwork. The composition places the two volumes at a slight diagonal overlap, their contrasting cover colors and textures (smooth matte navy vs. rough crinkled vermillion) set against the plain white surface, giving the image a quiet, orderly, still-life presentation.
