PLACES WITHIN
In this series of detailed watercolors, Umeno captures the quiet poetry of real places — from the streets of Tokyo to the countryside of Japan, and even distant memories of Paris. Each scene is rendered with care and precision, revealing the subtle beauty hidden in everyday landscapes. These works reflect more than just what is seen; they carry the weight of time, presence, and memory — inviting the viewer to slow down and feel the atmosphere held within each moment.
