A wall covered with blue, brown and ochre faces: Indonesian masks.
Japanese Courtesan in scarlet, blue and purple robe, gazing at Mount Fuji.
Nineteenth century Sargent portraits of long-dead society matrons identified by Mrs. and their husbands’ names.
Woodblock print, black crow on plum branch in the rain. Brush-painted fans.
Yellow lotus blooming above a reflecting pool in the courtyard garden.
Trade winds sway invisible palm fronds. Unseen ocean waves crash onto sand.
