Seasonally Appropriate Artwork
Accessories in Japanese
Tradition and Custom
We have an extensive inventory
from which to select seasonally
appropriate fine art work and
artifacts, such as scrolls and
screens. Following Japanese
tradition and custom,
accessorize your home with
seasonal displays.
Seasonal flowers and trees convey a wealth of imagery.
The cherry blossoms in
spring - from ancient times and
inextricable part of the
Japanese soul - the peony, a
symbol of wealth and fame, the
always auspicious
pine-bamboo-plum combination are
all rich in propitious
implications. Celebrated in
poetry, these seasonal delights
are also favored choices for
designs of ceramics for domestic
use, Kosode and other garments,
and Noh costumes as well. Birds
and flowers, a popular theme in
screen paintings, present
paradises throughout the four
seasons, with flocks of birds at
play and flowers vying with each
other in their beauty.
Below: A pair of six-panel
screens; ink and color on
paper. Size: height 59", width
140" each, 20th century.
