This painting shows a mix of flowers and leaves. It's a cover for a set of drawings. The drawings were for a print series, which is interesting because it shows the planning that went into the final prints. The print series had many different flowers. This was done during the Meiji period in Japan. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of Kamisaka Sekka.
