Description

"Fantasy A 50-30" uses alphanumeric designation to locate this work within Tajima's systematic cataloguing of his abstract investigations, the numbers likely referring to a series number and individual work within it. The word "fantasy" signals departure from observed reality into the freely imagined — a core value of Tajima's sosaku-hanga practice, which insisted on personal creative vision over documentation. Shapes, colors, and marks interact in a composition that obeys its own internal logic.
