Display of Chrysanthemums, from the Illustrated Book: Picture Book: Flowers of New Year, 1801 Creator: Kitagawa Utamaro (Japan, 1753-1806) This stunning double-page illustration from the "Picture Book: Flowers of the Four Seasons," volume 2, created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1801, showcases an exquisite display of chrysanthemums. The image captures the essence of the New Year, a time when these flowers were highly revered in Japan. The scene is set in a tranquil garden, where an elderly man, dressed in traditional Edo Period clothing, is surrounded by an array of chrysanthemums in various shades of green and brown. The artist masterfully uses color woodblock printing to bring the vibrant flowers to life, with their intricate details and delicate petals. The elderly man, dressed in a brown kimono and wearing a formal hat, sits amongst the chrysanthemums, admiring their beauty. He is accompanied by a group of men and women, all dressed in traditional clothing, who are also appreciating the flowers. The scene is reminiscent of a family gathering or a social event during the New Year. The chrysanthemum was considered the imperial flower of Japan, symbolizing longevity, perseverance, and the end of the year. The Display of Chrysanthemums is a testament to the deep connection between the Japanese people and their natural environment, as well as their appreciation for the changing seasons. This double-page illustration is a prime example of Utamaro's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and the beauty of nature. It is a valuable heritage piece that showcases the rich cultural history of Japan during the Tokugawa Period.
