More about this artwork

Imao Keinen's painting from the series "Keinen kachō gafu" depicts nature’s serene and intricate beauty with elegantly simple brushwork that aligns with traditional Japanese aesthetic principles. In this particular plate, Keinen captures the delicate balance and harmony of autumn. The scene is centered around a robust tree with a rugged, textured bark. Flitting near the berries of this tree is a small bird with a vibrant plumage of blue, white, and chestnut brown, likely a variety of tit. Below, amid the fallen leaves, a group of mushrooms emerges, their forms soft and subtle compared to the defined veins of the leaves and the bold red berries.Keinen's use of color and form evokes a quiet, almost meditative appreciation for the fleeting moments in nature. Each element, from bird to berry to mushroom, is rendered with meticulous detail, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty of the changing seasons.
