The work on paper depict a rabbit and shrubs in masterful brush strokes, and a poem, by the artist.
The poem sings:
"autumn is not far away in a
hamlet in the hills in Osu"
The image plane shows a rabbit curling itself up slightly against a sudden chilly wind that reminds the coming of autumn. The plants bend lightly, too. Subtle colors added the eloquent departure of summer. It shows a viewer that moment when the wind passes through the hillside by the reaction of a rabbit. His poem and drawing unite each other and invite us to step in.
