Tatami Weaver Face Rush Stains

North-window sidelight cuts across a weathered face marked by dark green rush-grass stains on the cheeks and forehead. The subject wears a simple indigo work apron, the fabric frayed at the collar. Behind the head, a mirror reflects a sliver of the shop interior, revealing chrome barber poles and rows of straight razors on a wooden rack. Condensation beads along the edge of a nearby glass window, blurring the bright noon glare outside. Dry air settles over the textured skin, highlighting deep lines and the rough weave of the work clothes. one drop of water rests on the bottom corner of the glass pane.
