Keika hyakugiku Pl.18 by Keika Hosegawa
Plate 18 focuses on a large incurved chrysanthemum whose petals curve inward and upward to form a domed, closed silhouette — the cultivar prized in Meiji-era Imperial garden culture for its formal perfection. The bloom occupies nearly the full width of the composition, its amber and burnt-orange gradations built up through layered woodblock printing of considerable technical difficulty. A single secondary bud, still closed, rises from the lower stem — a compositional detail that introduces temporal dimension, suggesting process and growth within an otherwise static botanical portrait.
The domed, inward-facing petals of this incurved cultivar gain a compelling tactile presence on canvas. This canvas art print, hand-produced in our Berlin studio, renders the bloom's warm amber gradations with depth and richness, the woven ground lending a physical quality that underscores the original's remarkable tonal layering.
