Young Japan by Mortimer Menpes. 1901. Watercolor. Source: Japan: A Record in Colour, facing p. 147. Waiting together, just a glimpse at the end of a day. Every scene catches the artist's eye: "Each head and each piquant face is but a field where the ever-present artist can exercise his ingenuity and his skill in colour and design" (147). The lantern here helps balance the composition. — Jacqueline Banerjee
