"White Camellia" is a delicate uchiwa-e (fan painting) by Japanese artist Yamada Hōgyoku, created around the 1830s. Hōgyoku, known for his refined style, captures the beauty of a single white camellia blossom with its delicate petals and yellow center against a soft pink background. This uchiwa-e, with its simple yet elegant design, showcases the artist's mastery of woodblock printing techniques, highlighting the intricate details of the flower and leaves.
