About the piece

Created by the renowned Rinpa master Sakai Hōitsu around 1804, this work exemplifies the school's love for bold decorative patterns and precious materials. The composition features a powerful, twisting tree trunk juxtaposed with delicate white chrysanthemums and a stylized, swirling blue stream, all set against a radiant gold leaf field that creates a luxurious, luminous atmosphere for any interior.
