Where it works
A kingfisher by Bairei plunging wings-up toward a pond of green lily pads and white water lilies, a landscape woodblock. Lively and pale, it belongs in a bathroom or over a bath on white, pale blue or sage walls at 12×18 in natural wood, paired with Koson's Kingfisher Over Water.

Framing. A slim black or natural wood frame right to the plate edge; the plate's own margin frames the subject.
