Verdant Landscape and Crimson Landscape depicts a pair of blurred landscapes, one in rich green and the other vibrant crimson, as if depicting the same scene transitioning from summer to autumn. Fukumoto applies a technique known as tarashikomi, in which one color is poured over another while the first is still drying. In doing so, tarashikomi creates the effects known as shimi, nijimi, and mura, referring to forms of blurring, spreading, and permeation of the dye into the fabric.
