Mount Fuji from Lake Yamanaka by Takahashi Shōtei Size:S - 29.7 x 42cm (A3) while overlapping lobes of colour

while overlapping lobes of colour create a rhythmic

Fragmented figures and bold typographic or geometric elements are layered across the composition in a way that mirrors the physical momentum of dance — bodies in motion
