Shigure-Gokochi Tears Won't Stop

"Shigure-Gokochi Tears Won't Stop" (2016) by Yuki Nishimoto is a monochrome ink-on-paper work depicting a coiling dragon rendered in loose, gestural brushstrokes. The head, positioned left of center with an open mouth, bared teeth, whiskers, and wide eyes, is the most tightly detailed passage, while the elongated body sweeps upward and to the right in broad, textured strokes of varying ink density before trailing off into thinner curling lines at lower right. The composition sits on a plain off-white ground, with a small red seal and columns of black brush-written characters in the lower left corner.
