Barei Exhibition Flowers IV, by Kōno Bairei

Barei Exhibition Flowers IV, by Kōno Bairei depicts a spray of small yellow daisy-like blossoms rising on slender stems above broad, deeply lobed blue-green leaves, rendered with the delicate linework and restrained palette characteristic of Meiji-era Japanese kachō-ga (bird-and-flower) painting. Bairei was a central figure in reviving traditional Japanese painting techniques during the Meiji period, publishing influential illustrated print compilations that shaped a generation of Nihonga artists.

Artist: Kōno Bairei (Japanese, 1844-1895).
