Description
A tall hanging scroll rendered in monochrome sumi ink on pale paper, with a horizontal band of gold calligraphy near the top and another near the bottom. The composition centers on a large dark circular form (the moon) in the upper portion, with loosely rendered ink strokes cascading below it suggesting wind-blown grasses or foliage against the blank paper ground. "The Moondrunk," Cyoko Tamai, 2018; Japanese paper and sumi ink.
