| Framed Original Flower Prints: The Peach |
Japan is known for the beauty of its variety of flowers and their viewing is an integral part of the Japanese appreciation of beauty in nature.
These prints originate from a book published in the 1950s that teaches us the art of Japanese flower arrangement and the intriguing symbolism in the Japanese culture behind each flower.
The prints are as fresh as if made today and the sheer attention to detail is just stunning. We presented them in a light moss green matt to bring out the colours of nature most beautifully.
The artfully trimmed double windows show an artistic floral display on one side and the symbolism of the flower on the other (see below for full text), with a delightful little poem on the upper right, just as portrayed in the original book.
The textured gold frame glorifies the print and is suited for viewing anywhere in your home, making a unique and appreciated gift this holiday season.
Text from the picture:
The deep pink of its blossoms and the tender green foliage against the thatched roofs of the many picturesque peasant cottages bring thoughts of immortality and spring time to the minds of men who watch the flowering of the peach tree.
Branches with peach blossoms are employed in flower decoration during the girls' festival which takes place on the occasion almost every Japanese house displays exquisitely made sets of dolls representing an ancient Japanese court in miniature, including the Sovereign and his consort, arranged on red cloth-covered steps and accompanied by a case of peach branches this yearly exhibit has become a delightful and unique national custom.
The blossom of the peach, one of the heralds of spring, favoured season for weddings, is an emblem of matrimony. |
