This screen shows five tall plants with white flowers and green leaves. The background is a warm gold color, divided into six panels. The flowers are simple but stand out against the rich gold. The artist painted each plant slightly different—some flowers are open, others still in bud. This kind of detail was common in Japanese art of the time. Look up Ogata Kōrin to see more of his work.
