Flowers and Plants of the Four Seasons" is a stunning and exquisite work of art by Yamaguchi Soken, created during the turn of the 18th to 19th century in Japan. This masterpiece, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of Japanese art from the Edo and Tokugawa periods. Measuring approximately 35.6 x 77.5 cm, this painting is a screen composed of ink and color on gold leaf paper. It showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of each season through the depiction of various flowers and plants. The screen is divided into four sections, each representing a different season. The first panel illustrates the vibrant colors and blossoms of spring, with cherry blossoms, irises, and peonies gracing the scene. The second panel portrays the lush greenery and rain showers of summer, featuring lotus flowers, water lilies, and bamboo. The third panel represents the autumnal hues of leaves turning gold and red, with maple trees and chrysanthemums in full bloom. The final panel embodies the tranquility and stillness of winter, with plum blossoms and snow-covered branches.
