The randomness of the shapes and their placement within grids is based half on whim and half on finding the right places to blend in with the landscape while still retaining an algorithmic "feeling" to it.The landscape was desaturated to easily modify its values, and then colorised to depict colors seen from fabrics and seasons traditional to Japan. Mark Twain (1876) The adventures of Tom Sawyer: "There was not even a zephyr stirring; the dead noonday heat had even stilled the songs of the birds; nature lay in a trance that was broken by no sound but the occasional far-off hammering of a woodpecker, and this seemed to render the pervading silence and sense of loneliness the more profound. The boy's soul was steeped in melancholy; his feelings were in happy accord with his surroundings."
