Keika hyakugiku Pl.30 by Keika Hosegawa Size:L - 70 x 100.0cmPlate 30 of the Keika hyakugiku series presents what appears to be a pompon type cultivar a tightly rounded bloom whose uniformly curved petals create an almost spherical silhouette. The composition uses negative space with great confidence, the single stem rising from the lower edge to anchor a head that seems to float in the frame. Meiji era restraint governs every line: nothing is embellished, and that economy makes the study all the more

shimmering field of colour

the work's fine botanical linework and subtle tonal gradations are preserved in full

the soft tonal gradations and hand-drawn details are reproduced with full fidelity — no muddiness in the shadows

deep ochres

creating a tension between ornament and boldness that gives the piece its particular character

The horizontal format gives the composition a cinematic breadth

High-contrast edges and clean letterforms come through exactly as intended

Printed in our Berlin studio on premium fine art paper

this seascape is Seurat's Pointillism at its most atmospheric — the harbour rendered in thousands of discrete colour dots that dissolve at viewing distance into shimmering light and still water

and the concentric logic of the city's arrondissements becomes visible as pure pattern

this work rewards close viewing — Redon's layered colour fields and soft contours reproduce with exceptional clarity and tonal depth

A fine art print built for impact
