Keika hyakugiku Pl.10 1893 by Keika Hosegawa
Plate 10 of Hasegawa's celebrated chrysanthemum series presents a tightly clustered cultivar whose dense, overlapping petals create an almost spherical silhouette. The composition is spare — a single stem, minimal foliage — forcing the viewer to read every incremental shift in tone across the bloom's surface. The ink work moves between crisp outlines and feathered inner lines, a technique rooted in Meiji-era woodblock tradition that turns botanical documentation into quiet visual poetry. Cool lavender hues against an unadorned ground give the plate a stillness that feels both scientific and deeply contemplative.
This fine art print is produced in our Berlin studio using archival pigment inks, preserving the precise linework and cool, muted palette with exceptional tonal accuracy and long-lasting colour stability.
