Ojime

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Ojime by artist is a close-up image of a single, spherical bead. The bead has a blue and white swirl pattern with two white dots. The bead appears to be made of glass or stone. The bead casts a small shadow on the surface below it. The bead is positioned on a flat gray surface. Behind the bead, to the left, is a blurry, white, rectangular object.
