From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Plum Blossoms is a 1364 unspecified by Unknown, a Ukiyo-e work, depicting Nanbokucho Period, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows tall, skinny branches with clusters of small white flowers against a light, faded background. The edges of the paper are decorated with a thin green border and a few simple gold designs at the top. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the branches a slightly uneven look. The flowers look like plum blossoms, which often symbolize resilience in art. This painting comes from a time called the *nanbokuchō period*, when two courts ruled Japan.
