Usually I’m a bit reluctant to include any text in my compositions because you never know how a viewer might react to a fragment of text, how they might read it. It can be a real distraction, and even run counter to my overall intent for the image. But since I don’t read Japanese, text becomes a simple graphic element to play around with. Here for instance, I just like the overall composition, and possible misreadings of the text don’t enter into it for me. If you’re Japanese you might beg to differ.
