To the eyes of those familiar with the magnificent portrayals of nature by Iwahashi, these little scene might look out of his style. This symbolical presentation of nature through rocks, and the interest in the difference in color and shape among the four singular-looking rocks, shows he was in a period of experiments. This work brought the artist into prominence by winning him membership in the "Nihon Bijutsuin" in 1953 and the Minister of Education Art Encouragement Prize (for 1953) in 1954.
