Comments - Terrific modern view of the town of Onomichi in Japan. A traditional building with grid-like shoji panels and a tiled roof stretches across the page, with a large stone lantern at left. An intriguing viewpoint showing the upper portion of the building, as the ground is not seen and the elements are truncated along the lower edge. Beautifully rendered in rich, jewel-like tones of blue, violet, green, and rust, with the bold black outlines of the shoji panels and tiles creating a striking, vertical rhythmic design punctuated by horizontal bands. A classic Karhu subject in an unusually large format.
