Details

A magnificent cherry tree stands in full bloom, its branches bending under the weight of blossoms at the peak of the season. The backdrop is adorned with solid swaths of silver and gold metallic pigment, lending the composition a sense of depth. The skillful bokashi (color gradation) in the blooms infuses the tree with a vibrant, pulsating presence.

While undeniably contemporary, the subject and materials evoke thoughts of the Edo period byobu and the works of Rimpa masters.
