There is a “pilgrimage route” on the Japanese island of Shikoku, and at each shrine or temple, you may have your book stamped with a singular stamp as a remembrance of your visit.
I have such a book in my collection, and this circular image from one of the temples has particular appeal. It’s intrinsically lovely, and to me, carries a sense of mystery.
I combined the stamp with some hand-painted papers I made and came up with this warm-colored abstract image -- both in a vertical, "full-frame" version, as well as in a square format.
