A Japanese seaside village of stacked wooden houses with grey tiled roofs climbs the shore, while orange fishing boats rest on teal harbor water below a volcano. Red gate posts and the pale paper-screen walls of the buildings disguise the finder squares, and the dark roof lines, window frames and boat hulls carry the modules. Strong contrast between the dark timber and the light walls keeps the pattern legible, and the pink blossoms and green pines are spread lightly around it. The film-style color gives the whole scene a soft, muted travel-photo feel.
