EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Kamisaka Sekka, a renowned Japanese artist from the early 20th century. Titled "Fukami-Gusa, from Momoyo-gusa (The World of Things) Vol I" this piece was published in 1909 and is a stunning example of colour block woodcut. In this particular image, we are treated to the enchanting beauty of peonies, often referred to as the "king of flowers". The delicate white petals stand out against a vibrant background, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers into a world of tranquility and grace. Kamisaka Sekka's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. Each petal seems to come alive with its own unique texture and shading. The composition exudes harmony and balance, showcasing the artist's deep understanding of traditional Japanese aesthetics. As we gaze upon this historical gem from the Historica Graphica Collection, it becomes clear why peonies hold such significance in Japanese culture. Symbolizing prosperity, honor, and beauty, these majestic blooms have captivated hearts for centuries. This print serves as both an illustration and a testament to Kamisaka Sekka's mastery as an artist. It invites us to appreciate not only the visual splendor but also the rich cultural heritage behind each stroke.
