This sketchbook of Mount Fuji by Sugiura Hisui is like a secret garden, a place where ideas are allowed to grow organically. The cover has this wonderful textured surface, a bit like watered silk, in a muted green. It feels quiet, reserved, almost monastic. I love how the texture invites you to touch it, to feel the subtle variations in the material. You can imagine the artist holding this book, turning the pages, each sketch a moment of observation and reflection. It reminds me of Agnes Martin, in the sense of her work as meditative, a focus on the quiet and the small, not as a denial of grand gestures but as a site for them. These sketches aren't about grand statements; they're about intimate moments of seeing. The book itself becomes a kind of ongoing conversation, an invitation to slow down and notice the world around us.
