More about this artwork
In this painting, there is a dark, wooden boat floating on what appears to be a gently rippling body of water. The interior of the boat is filled with a lush array of flowers, predominantly large, white blossoms with shades of pink near their centers. Smaller flowers with yellow centers surrounded by white and red petals also adorn the arrangement. Leaves in various shades of green are interspersed among the flowers. A couple of white flowers with green leaves have fallen and are floating on the surface of the water near the boat, highlighting the serene and somewhat melancholic beauty of the scene.

Kamisaka Sekka was an important artistic figure in early twentieth-century Japan. Born in Kyoto to a Samurai family, his talents for art and design were recognized early. He eventually allied himself with the traditional Rinpa school of art. He is considered the last great proponent of this artistic tradition.
