...team, which has used the laser on more than 100 patients in the past 18 months, cautions that it is still too early to determine whether the growths removed will recur.

"Korin waves" recur in a long screen of gray cranes by Suzuki Kiitsu (1796-1858). A copy of a Korin (now in the Freer Gallery), Kiitsu's frieze of birds, with their dipping beaks and stilted legs, is a distillation of variety in unity. Sakai Hoitsu's (1761-1828) screen...
