This vibrant and enchanting print captures the essence of Asagao, also known as Morning Glory, from Momoyo-gusa (The World of Things) Vol I. Published in 1909, this colour block woodcut by Kamisaka Sekka showcases the delicate beauty of a blue trumpet-shaped flower against a backdrop of bamboo. Asagao is depicted here as a climber, gracefully winding its way up the bamboo stalks with its slender tendrils. The intricate details and vivid colours bring to life the elegance and charm that these flowers possess. This historical piece is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as an illustration of Japanese artistry at its finest. Kamisaka Sekka's mastery in colour woodblock printing shines through every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical attributes but also the spirit and cultural significance associated with Asagao. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity, transporting us to a serene Japanese garden where we can appreciate nature's wonders. It reminds us to pause for a moment amidst our busy lives and admire the simple yet profound beauty that surrounds us. This print is not just an exquisite work of art; it represents centuries-old traditions passed down through generations in Japan. It stands as a testament to Kamisaka Sekka's talent while celebrating the timeless allure of Asagao – a symbol often associated with love, affection, and new beginnings.
