황혼 산수 (저물녘 풍경)
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"In the light of dusk as the day declines, what does a person come to look back upon?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This Japanese landscape, following the manner of Ikkyu Sojun, holds a scene at the fall of evening. The light of dusk, neither bright nor dark, is the hour that brings the day to a close. As all things grow dim, a person halts his hurry and looks back over the day he has come through. Here I see the time of closing. The end of a day is not mere darkness but a place to weigh the road traveled. One who knows how to set well begins the next day well. Dusk is not the light of regret but of putting things in order.

— ONGO · Curator

As the day draws to a close, pause for a moment and quietly look back over the time you have come through.
