Bold black sumi ink brush strokes sweep across a white ground, with kanji-style glyphs, flicks of splatter and smudged grey washes scattered between them. Three round ink rings, each holding a heavy character, disguise the finder squares. The loose strokes and dots carry the dark modules, while the empty paper fills the light ones. Strong black on white contrast and a spread of fine detail keep the pattern readable. A thick curving sweep along the lower left is the most dramatic gesture.
