Description

Immerse your walls in Kōno Bairei's Golden Hibiscus art print, a quintessential Meiji-era kacho-e masterwork. This botanical symphony showcases Bairei's unparalleled Maruyama-Shijo school precision, where each petal unfurls with sun-kissed luminosity.

The cerulean foliage, reminiscent of Edo-period indigo dyeing, provides a striking counterpoint to the aureate bloom. Bairei's woodblock expertise shines through every line, capturing the hibiscus's ephemeral beauty with ukiyo-e finesse. You'll discover new details with each glance—from the delicate stigma to the veined leaf textures.

This print doesn't merely decorate; it transports you to Kyoto's verdant gardens, infusing your space with the essence of Japanese floral artistry. Elevate your interior with this conversation-sparking piece that bridges traditional Nihonga and innovative Meiji-era techniques.

Let Bairei's masterful brushwork serenade your senses daily, transforming your home into a personal gallery of timeless Japanese botanical art.

About the Artist

Kōno Bairei, born in 1844 in Kyoto, was a Meiji-era artist who transformed traditional Japanese painting with his masterful depictions of birds and flowers. Blending Maruyama-Shijo traditions with elements of Western realism, Bairei's work brought fresh vitality to classic themes.

Bairei's renowned "Album of One Hundred Birds" was a celebrated masterpiece that drew admiration from both ornithologists and art enthusiasts. As a teacher, Bairei mentored future legends like Takeuchi Seihō, nurturing Kyoto's art scene.

His brushwork, a harmony of delicate petals and vibrant feathers, captured nature’s fleeting beauty, blending innovation with tradition in a way that endures today.
