Figure 527 shows a KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) made by making selections of lines which form three lattices made by connecting bi-section points, tri-section points, and tetra-section points of the side on the surface. Figure 532 is one of the works about rhythm by Lohse who has continued the research of KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) by lattices for many years. Spaced parallel lines are divided with a perpendicular line at a ratio of 1:2:4, and colors are arranged here along the division lines as shown in the diagram of Figure 532-b. In other words, if we pay attention to a certain color, it is raised by three steps and occupies a position on the next right, and then it falls down by five steps and occupies a position on the next right, and so on. A rhythm is give by the configuration that the color continues by alternately repeating steps up and 5 steps down.
