🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What does a bird and flower held in a single hanging scroll try to convey?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a Japanese bird-and-flower hanging scroll painted by Gessen. Within the narrow, long surface, a bird and flower are set with fine arrangement. My heart goes to this confined surface. Even without a broad space, the painter unfolds a whole world within it fully. To be narrow is not to be meager. A given frame being small does not mean the meaning it can hold is small too. Before blaming the place one has for being small, one ought first to ask how to fill within it.
