1. Title: "Japanese Flower Arrangement with Plum in a Vase on a Beam: A Beautiful Example of Shinshintei Ikebana from the 19th Century" This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving, titled "Hanga," showcases a stunning Japanese flower arrangement featuring plum blossoms in a vase balanced on a wooden beam. The arrangement also includes camellia and tsubaki (camellia japonica) flowers, adding to the harmonious blend of colors and textures. The artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, which originated in the 15th century. This particular arrangement belongs to the Shinshintei school, one of the many Ryu (styles) of Ikebana that emerged during the Edo era (1603-1868). The arrangement is meticulously displayed against a serene backdrop, with the vase and beam creating a dynamic contrast. The use of natural materials, such as wood and flowers, highlights the connection between humans and nature, a core principle of Ikebana. The intricate woodcut details in this print reveal the skill and artistry of the artist. The delicate petals of the camellia and plum blossoms are rendered with great precision, while the tsubaki leaves are depicted with a sense of depth and dimension. The arrangement's placement on a wooden beam adds a sense of balance and stability, emphasizing the importance of harmony and equilibrium in Japanese aesthetics. The use of a vase to hold the flowers also reflects the belief in the transient nature of life and the importance of appreciating beauty in the present moment. This artwork offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Ikebana, showcasing the beauty and elegance of Japanese flower arrangements during the 19th century.
