Description
A house and trees — the fundamental elements of rural settlement — are rendered with the directness of Hiratsuka's woodblock style. The composition reduces the subject to its structural essentials: the pitch of a roof, the branching of trees, the relationship between shelter and the natural world surrounding it. His eye finds architectural dignity in the most unassuming domestic arrangement.
