EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving, titled "Eigiku and Ume" (Chrysanthemum and Plum), showcases the timeless beauty of Japanese flower arrangement or Ikebana, as practiced during the Edo period in the 19th century. The arrangement features the symbolic combination of chrysanthemums and plums, representing the transition from autumn to winter. The arrangement is meticulously displayed in a simple yet elegant container, which includes a vase, a bowl, and a stand. The vase, made of bamboo, is filled with lush chrysanthemums, their vibrant yellow and red hues contrasting against the cool tones of the plum branches in the bowl. The stand, also made of bamboo, adds a natural touch to the arrangement, while the intricate details of the woodgrain are accentuated by the handcoloured technique. The Shinshintei school of Ikebana is renowned for its emphasis on the harmony between nature and the human spirit. This arrangement embodies that philosophy, as the flowers and foliage are arranged in a way that invites contemplation and reflection. The use of natural materials, such as bamboo and water, further emphasizes the connection between the arrangement and the natural world. The intricate details of the woodblock engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen of the time. The delicate lines and shading bring the arrangement to life, making it a beautiful and timeless work of art. With its rich history and cultural significance, this Japanese flower arrangement with chrysanthemum and plum is a true masterpiece of the 19th century.
