Description

Bursting forth from Meiji-era Japan, Kōno Bairei's pomegranate will soon grace your walls with succulent splendor. This Ukiyo-e print transcends mere fruit, offering you a portal into 19th-century Japanese philosophy and aesthetics.

You'll lose yourself in Bairei's masterful nihonga brushwork, each stroke a testament to his kacho-ga prowess. The pomegranate's crimson flesh and garnet seeds pulse with life, contrasting exquisitely against teal foliage. Asymmetry reigns, creating visual tension that will captivate your gaze for hours.

This "Bairei Gakan" gem isn't just pretty – it's profound. You'll contemplate the fleeting nature of beauty and the cyclical rhythm of seasons with every glance. The artist's vermilion seal whispers of authenticity, bridging centuries.

Botanical enthusiasts and Asian art aficionados alike will covet this print. It's more than decor; it's a conversation piece, a meditation aid, a slice of Meiji-era wisdom adorning your home.

Embrace the pomegranate's symbolism of fertility and rebirth. Let Bairei's artistry transform your space, infusing it with timeless Japanese elegance and depth.

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. His 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.
