Keika hyakugiku Pl.12 1893 by Keika Hosegawa
Plate 12 from Hasegawa's Kyoto-published series documents a spidery, ray-petalled chrysanthemum cultivar — the long, filament-like petals curling outward and downward in elegant arcs. Where many botanical plates favour the fully opened bloom, this composition captures the cultivar mid-unfurl, giving the image a sense of suspended movement. The ink lines thin to almost invisible at each petal tip, while a restrained ochre and white palette keeps the mood serene. The overall composition reads as a kind of Japanese linework study, balanced between scientific record and aesthetic statement.
Produced as an archival fine art print in Berlin, every fine petal filament and subtle ink gradation is rendered with crisp clarity on museum-grade paper — a faithful translation of Hasegawa's delicate original linework.
