Untitled is a 1800 ink by Kitao Shigemasa, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a branch with pale yellow flowers and green leaves resting on a rock. Below it, a woven basket and a rolled-up mat lie on the ground. The background has faint writing in black ink and a small boat with a patterned sail. The flowers look like daisi, a type of chrysanthemum often linked to autumn. The artist used soft colors and delicate lines to keep the scene simple and calm. Next, check out the subject: daisi to see how flowers like these were used in Japanese art.
