Simply titled "Trees," this print reduces Kitaoka's arboreal subject to its most general form — the category of tree rather than a specific species or season. It may be a study for a more specific composition or a deliberate meditation on what constitutes "treeness": the vertical growth, the branching structure, the canopy that creates shade and shelter. The unqualified title announces a conceptual rather than descriptive intention, trees not as setting but as primary subject.
