Gathering of Circles

"Gathering of Circles" arranges one of geometry's most elemental forms — the circle, symbol of wholeness, cyclicality, and void — into a composition that reads as both playful and contemplative. Tajima's circles are likely imperfect, generated by hand-carved woodblock rather than mechanical means, each bearing the subtle irregularity of the artist's touch. Their gathering or clustering suggests community, accumulation, or the spontaneous assembly of like things — a theme with both abstract and social dimensions.
