| Framed Diptych Flower Prints: The Seven Flowers of Autumn |
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:
Many are the flowers that bloom in the autumn but from them seven representative ones are selected to bring before the mind all the grasses and herbs that flourish during this season. They become suggestive autumnal symbols and are displayed in charming flower decorations. They have long been known by the poetic name of Aki-no-nana-kusa and as early as the eighth century were mentioned in a collection of poems and prose entitled the 'Man-yo-shu'.
The grass and flowers composing our illustration are Miscanthus, Pueraria, Bush Clover, Patrinia, Thorough, Wort, Great Bellflower and Aster. |
