📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a Japanese ink landscape painted by Gakuo Zokyu. With nothing but the shading of ink, mountains and valleys sunk in mist spread out. I see that this haziness was a deliberate choice. Rather than drawing everything clearly, he left it blurred, so that the heart of the viewer fills the empty places. A painting that leaves emptiness lingers in the heart longer than one that shows all. The more one tries to grasp everything clearly, the more the breath catches. In the spaces left empty, imagination and ease take up dwelling.
