EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock print captures the delicate beauty of the Kahahone or Japanese water lily, Nuphar japonica. Created by Kono Bairei in 1889 as part of his series Senshu no Hana (One Thousand Varieties of Flowers), this artwork showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this aquatic plant.
The Nuphar japonica is known for its large, round leaves and bright yellow flowers that float gracefully on the surface of ponds and lakes. In Japanese culture, water lilies are often associated with purity, enlightenment, and rebirth, making them a popular motif in art and literature.
Bairei's skillful depiction of the Kahahone highlights his mastery of botanical illustration and attention to detail. Each petal and leaf is meticulously rendered, showcasing the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of this beautiful flower.
As we admire this stunning print, we are transported to a tranquil garden where we can almost hear the gentle rustle of leaves and feel the cool touch of water against our skin. The timeless elegance of Bairei's work serves as a reminder of nature's enduring beauty and inspires us to appreciate the simple wonders that surround us every day.
