1841
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Preface from Flowers and Grasses is a 1841 unspecified by Tsubaki Chinzan, a Nihonga work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two panels side by side. On the left, a few delicate pink flowers with green leaves grow on a simple branch. The background is a plain, light color. On the right, there’s black ink writing arranged in neat lines, with a small red stamp at the bottom. The flowers look soft and slightly faded, like they’re just starting to bloom. The writing next to them might be a poem or notes about the flowers. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
Tsubaki Chinzan, originally Tasuku was a Japanese painter in the nanga style. His other art names include Hekiin Sambō, Kyūan (休庵), Shikyūan (四休庵) and Takukadō (琢華堂).
