In this exquisite composition, Hokkei skillfully combines ink and color on paper to depict a mesmerizing array of candles amidst an enchanting floral setting. The delicate flowers, meticulously rendered with intricate details, add a touch of natural beauty to the overall composition. It is evident that Hokkei's mastery lies in his ability to capture both the essence of nature and the cultural heritage through his art.
