(Plum blossom designs by five artists) 1853

"Plum blossom designs by five artists" is a work of art from 1853 by Japanese artist Yokoyama Seiki. The artwork features five distinct designs of plum blossoms in red, each within an arched frame. This scroll, which is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases Seiki's calligraphic skill and attention to detail as he captures the delicate beauty of the plum blossoms in a simplistic yet elegant manner. The scroll is a testament to the artistry of the Edo period, when woodblock printing was a popular form of art in Japan.
