Dear Customers and Friends,

Good afternoon from Kenshi of Shukado.
Even though it's already in March, it is still cold in Japan.
We can hardly wait for warm spring!

So in today's newsletter, ahead of the spring, I'd like to introduce you a hanging scroll depicting beautiful flowers.

Here painted are ten kinds of flowers from the four seasons such as plum tree, rose, and chrysanthemum.

The artist of this artwork is Tanomura Chokunyu, who was active from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period.
For example, vein of leaves is truly precise and

What surprises us is his skill of description. For example, veins are so detailed, and geometric pattern is depicted on the white lotus flower.

Also, we should be surprised at the vitality radiating from those plants.
Like the peony adding color to the screen, just looking at it giving us energy.

This artwork was painted in 1849, that is to say, still in the Edo period.
And it is very rare that the painting preserves the beauty of colors.

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you are interested in this painting.
See you next week.

Sincerely yours,

Kenshi
