Description

An interior view through a symmetrical arrangement of shoji screens and sliding doors rendered in flat blocks of blue, with a horizontal band of brown and tan wood grain across the top. At the center, a doorway recedes into a dim corridor lit by an angular window of white and blue triangular panes, its diagonal muntins echoed in the crisscrossing black lines on the yellow-green tatami floor below. Woodblock print, "Tatami Room" by Clifton Karhu, 1981.
