Blauwe winde Possibly 1909

"Blauwe winde" (Blue Morning Glory) is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka, created around 1909. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a serene scene of morning glories climbing up a bamboo grove. The stylized floral motifs, rendered in subtle shades of blue, green, and gray, demonstrate Sekka's mastery of the shin-hanga style, characterized by its emphasis on bold lines and rich colors. The composition is both delicate and powerful, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature.
