Seaplane on Shinobazu Pond
In the middle of the pond floats a single white shape, like something with its wings spread. Beyond it, a long structure lined with slender pillars crosses the water.
About this photo
Past the dark water in the foreground, a long white shape rests on the surface. Could this be the seaplane of the title? Behind it, a long structure crosses the pond, and on the far shore beyond, trees form a dark line. The sky is gray all over.
The exhibition's second venue stood on the edge of the pond, as its title in the table of contents, "the Second Venue beside Shinobazu Pond," suggests. Shinobazu Pond lies at the southwestern edge of Ueno Park and was known for its lotus flowers from the Edo period on.
Look closely at the long structure in the back, and you'll see slender pillars standing in a row from left to right, evenly spaced. Above the row of pillars, a single white horizontal band joins them from one end to the other.
