Keika hyakugiku Pl.19 by Keika Hosegawa
Plate 19 captures a bicolour chrysanthemum cultivar — pale at the petal tips, deepening to a warm amber toward the centre — a chromatic effect that Hasegawa renders through precise tonal layering rather than obvious gradients. The bloom is shown fully open, its petals fanning outward in a broad, generous span that fills the upper half of the composition. Ink lines are confident and unhurried, tracing each petal's curve with a single, unbroken stroke. This plate exemplifies the series' core ambition: to document with absolute fidelity while producing something unmistakably beautiful in the Meiji tradition of woodblock botanical illustration.
Produced as a fine art print in our Berlin studio, this Japanese poster renders the bicolour tonal subtlety and confident ink linework of Hasegawa's original with archival precision and lasting colour fidelity.
