This painting by OKUMURA Togyū is of a finely detailed red peony and white peony. His brushwork, however, is free and relaxed, lending a refreshing aspect to the image. The shades of white on the flower petals, applied using the tarashikomi* technique, create a three-dimensionality to the painting that conveys an immediate impression of early summer. It is a piece that reflects Okumura’s assiduity and focused approach to his subject matter.
