四季 | Shiki
Shiki means four seasons in Japanese. The seasons in Japan are distinct and the changing of the seasons has always been a culturally important factor in daily life. Many festivals are observed in each season and kimono patterns and the traditional tea ceremony incorporate motifs of flora and fauna of the current season.
Shiki has flowers that bloom in different seasons on her kimono; such as ume (plum) blossoms and irises in spring, peonies and hollyhocks in summer, chrysanthemums and maple leaves in autumn and red camellias and bamboo leaves in winter.
This painting came second place in Womankind magazine’s inaugural Art and Illustration Award in 2019.
