Erotic portrait of Coo Shibasaki against the light in front of the large workshop window, bringing its light in the background. "I asked Coo to come back and pose during the Obon’s holidays for new portraits. Need to leave Otomè aside a little to see my first love again and go further with her. We must not waste any more time, I must get to work, act very empirically, paint the sweet radiation of her gold skin like the mirror of a carp in a stream, the youthful grace of her naked body sitting with open legs on the workshop floor or between the window curtains." (Excerpt from my workshop diary for Sunday, August 15, 1976)..
