"Morgen (Morning)" — again with a German title reflecting Onchi's European cultural engagement — renders the specific quality of morning light and the experience of waking into a new day. Morning was among the most celebrated subjects of European Romanticism (Caspar David Friedrich's morning landscapes, for example), and Onchi's German title signals his awareness of this tradition while applying it to a Japanese sensibility. The print likely renders morning as a quality of light and feeling rather than a specific place or scene.
