Resonance

Two loose vertical bands of fine, tangled linework in grey sumi ink descend the cream-toned handmade paper, accented with sparse touches of pale blue pigment, most concentrated in the right-hand band. Faint horizontal ruled lines cross the sheet beneath the ink, and small pencil-like annotations and a stamped or written mark appear near the lower right corner. The paper's deckled, irregular edges are visible within the mount, giving the composition an airy, unfinished quality. *Resonance*, Cyoko Tamai, 2021, Japanese paper, sumi ink, and pigment.
