# 663 Canna The vertical and horizontal boards of the fence contrast with the random wall of leaves whose dark color, in turn, contrast with the light bloom above.
The tight composition makes us aware of the delicate lightness of the small insect, flying freely in the air above
# 635 Crisp Autumn No. 3 The Artist is aware of the quality of a poetic simplicity, expressed through old, often abandoned, farm houses, lovingly portrayed. Here its presence in a field, surrounded only by wind and sky, speaks eloquently of times gone by
#640 Winter Day Stressing the progression of light and shadow, this fine view, over fields, a past groups of trees, leads far into the distance, a lovely, peaceful view
# 565 Pampas Grass and Thatched Roof no. 3 In 'Pampas Grass and Thatched Roof,' Tanaka presents a charming traditional Japanese rural village home. Fine texture distinguishes the white, fluffy plants from the stiff texture of the thatch, thus creating contrast in tactile and color elements.
#639 Winter Tree Fine branches of two trees against the sky. Very fine and delicate detail so characteristic of the finest etchings by Tanaka, is much in evidence.
Calm No. 6 Finely detailed Work of a temple enclosure in contrasting pattern and color of greys, black, rich green and gold foil; a vertical white line creates the impression of a diptych and adds interest and a touch of tension to this small composition
#692 - Field Path The winding path with a small flowering tree and a farmhouse on either side, creates an intimate, peaceful image, simple, yet bountiful
#619 - Fallen Leaves A view of a rake and leaves, a lovely simple image, that looks spontaneous but is carefully composed; an example of Tanaka's love of simple things and their aesthetic quality
