Late Influence

Plum Estate
Over the past few years I've become intrigued with Japanese watercolors and prints. It started with a picture book by illustrator Anno Mitsumasa called The Tale of the Heike and has grown into a small collection of books about Japanese art. What attracts me most is the purposeful use of red and the incredible line quality. Kamata's Plum Garden and Plum Estate are two of my favorite recent discoveries.
