In a quiet, open landscape with a beautiful view, the world of Hiroko Kubota shines with originality, beauty, and unique ideas.
In Waiting on the Chord, Kubota picks up the imagery of a previous work and further expands the world, expertly weaving a new story in this drawing.
A white cat that is cradling a red flower bud as if it were something precious. It seems like it’s listening closely for something. Like it might be waiting for something...That’s the tale its expression seems to be telling.
On the back of the cover, a black cat is quietly reading a book. This cat also has something about its expression that makes you want to understand its deepest feelings, the thoughts quietly tucked into the corners of its heart as it sits there on the keyboard all by itself.
