Description
A numbered trial print — one of two — giving Hiroshima's domestic architecture an unexpectedly quiet treatment. Ono's engagement with Hiroshima reflects the complex relationship postwar Japanese artists had with the city: a place of catastrophe and rebuilding simultaneously, where the ordinary house carried extraordinary historical weight. The print focuses on structure rather than symbolism, rendering the house as an architectural subject while allowing the location's resonance to speak without direct statement.
