Boom en chrysanten 1890 - 1900

"Boom en chrysanten" (Tree and Chrysanthemums) is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Tsukioka Kôgyo between 1890 and 1900. The print features a serene landscape of a gnarled tree with thick leaves that gracefully dips over a winding stream. White chrysanthemums bloom in the foreground, adding a vibrant splash of color to the calming natural scene. The print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Known for his delicate and refined style, Kôgyo's work is a masterful example of the Japanese artistic tradition of ukiyo-e.
