Water

A close-up view of a water surface, dominated by concentric ripples radiating outward from clusters of golden-orange and rust-colored aquatic plants or moss visible beneath the blue-tinted water. Above the waterline, pale grey-green reeds or grasses rise into a soft, hazy off-white background, their forms echoed as blurred reflections on the rippled surface. The palette shifts from muted grey at the top to warm ochre and teal blue below, giving the composition a quiet, still mood. *Water*, Yoshihito Kawase, 2019, Nihonga.
