Round trip

A thick coiled rope forms a closed circular loop, its twisted strands rendered in fine gradations of grey with soft highlights along the ridges, set against a deep black background that leaves the print's interior dark and unbroken. The composition is centered and symmetrical, giving the ring a sculptural, almost three-dimensional presence against the flat void behind it. Katsunori Hamanishi's etching, titled *Round Trip* (year unknown), is signed and numbered in pencil below the image.
