About this work

This is a sheet of paper covered in quick, light pencil lines. The strokes are thin and uneven, all moving in different directions like wind through grass. Some areas are denser, others almost empty. The artist signed it in the corner with a small, neat hand: *Jiro Takamatsu, 1970*. No shapes or colors—just the marks themselves. If you like this, look up cross-hatching next.
