About this work

This is a simple drawing of a slanted tabletop, made with ballpoint pen and pencil. The lines are straight and precise, forming rectangles of different sizes. Numbers are written inside each shape, likely measurements in centimeters. The paper looks like a notebook page, with a faint grid and some Japanese text at the top. The drawing feels more like a sketch or a quick note than a finished work. Check out Jiro Takamatsu to see more of his work.
