(2) Hide-and-seek of shapes In many cases, shapes are well understood without showing all of their shapes. This method is often useful for expression of an elegant feeling by omitting a shape without drawing it. This is because an observer compensates the missing part by their imagination in various ways. In a word, they are art containing the fun of imagination.
(i) Hide-and-seek of circles and squares Figure 562 represents an assembly of circles whose quarter is missing, and it can also be recognized as a KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) of assemblies of circles and squares. Since the color of the squares are made to have the same color as the background, the eight rectangles around the square in the center look like four rectangles and a square of half their area. Nine sheets of squares which are the same type as the central square appear aligned like a lattice of the Go board, then the circular board seems to be inserted into them. As a result, shapes with a missing part help to enrich the assemblies of shapes and make it more enjoyable to look at them. Circles and squares are transformed into three-dimensional
shapes in Figure 564, and if they are carefully observed, illusions can
be seen as ordinary diagram recognition. In a word, the figure is funny.
The black circular boards of the nine columns are on a plane, and these
columns should have the same height.
