Painting (F4) by Jiro Takemura
 
 

 
He watches intently the white grains of
 lily-of-the-valley living in the garden
 behind his atelier.
 A concept of beauty flits across his mind.
 What he wants to paint is those white grains.
 Flat and depth - a moment of eternity.
 
 He thinks that thought and technique
 must be closely integrated.
 
 Pointillism in which canvas is not simply a palette.
 Selflessness.
 An eternity is sealed up in the canvas gorgeously,
 expanding to the reverse of canvas.
