This artwork features three women in traditional Japanese kimonos holding wagasa (oil-paper umbrellas), rendered in a grainy, vintage black-and-white style. They are positioned on a sandy beach that transitions into a vibrant blue ocean.
The piece is defined by a heavy surrealist overlay: the entire sky is replaced with a shimmering, caustic water pattern, creating the illusion that the scene is viewed from beneath the sea. In the background, a lone, modern-day surfer walks toward the waves, creating a sharp temporal contrast between the Meiji-era figures and contemporary surf culture. The composition explores themes of time, memory, and the fluid nature of cultural identity.
