Important Art Object Flowering Plants in Autumn

Flowering plants in autumn are a familiar and emotionally evocative theme, often used in Japanese literature and art. In this pair of screens, autumn-blooming plants, including chrysanthemums, pampas grasses, bush clover, bellflowers, and fringed pinks, vie in their beauty. While reproducing the vivid freshness of nature, this screen also shows the quest for bold abstraction and decorative qualities characteristic of Rimpa-school screens.
