Hokusai 1

On a black background, a small yellowed print of a torii gate rendered in thin line drawing with a vertical column of Japanese characters on either side is mounted on a dark gray board at right. To its left are three raised, textured fabric or resin elements with a mottled, crystalline surface — one circular in pale blue, two rectangular in white — arranged as a separate cluster above one another. Hokusai 1, 2015, mixed media, Cyoko Tamai.
